Abstract
A system and/or method selects program patches for installation into computer systems, where the patches are organized into patch chains each having a root. The method includes obtaining a base context identifier, searching for a patch in a context corresponding to the base context identifier, obtaining a system description, corresponding to a system where the system description includes more than hardware version and operating system version information, and filtering patches found in the search to remove patches not applicable to the system.
