Abstract
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with maintaining information about patches installed on a node are described. In one embodiment, a method includes, in response to installing a patch to a program, updating a list of installed patches in a computer by adding an identifier of the patch to the list of installed patches. The method also includes embedding the updated list of installed patches into compiled binary code of the program.
