Note: The checksum file provided in this page is for reference in case you want to verify that your download copy is not corrupted. The checksum file is the console output running the SUN cksum utility on the patch distribution.

Which patches will be installed?

The Galaxy software checks the patches each time it is launched. If some patches need to be installed, a warning message is displayed, and a log file is created:

For Optimizer : galaxy/optimizer/common/patch_for_galaxy.log
For Audit : galaxy/audit/common/patch_for_galaxy.log

Note: Future releases will create the log file in the $HOME folder instead.
