Does this help at all? #70

[loquanet]

Yes that fixed it. But new error: Installed Patches: ['51398fd6-0000-0000-984a-fc7c2a4779b4', '661184a8-0000-0000-b6fb-7a62a232dda5'] Trying to establish which 'null' is correct.

Probably worth checking this :) #81

[loquanet]

I ran it with the -E and it said the same error. Like the switch e didn't do anything.

I mean specifically, that xenserver patcher isn't required for this build, as it's managed by a different update process (yum or similar)

[loquanet]

Well was on the phone with Citrix tech support and I was told and I performed a required one by one update manually for each patch on 8.1 or 8.2. They said start at the highest patch because they might include lower patches. Manually patching several xen host is beyond time consuming and annoying. I thought your repo might help eliminate this headache.

I haven't had to support xenserver hosts since 6.2 unfortunately, so this hasn't been tested past v7.

Maybe check forked versions of this repo in case someone has continued to support it in their own branch?

According to the linked ticket, the patch application process might just be via yum, which wouldn't need a new utility, but I can't confirm that unfortunately.
