Actually this will not work, as the Control Station gets the info from the
filename itself when deciding where to store the PKG file. So if it doesn't
start with "RaQ4-" it goes into a "random" directory; then when you check
to see what PKGs you have for RaQ4, none show up.
A sequencing "fix" has been proposed for Control Station and is planned for
addition in a future version of the Software Management control module.
Unfortunately I have no estimate on a release date.
Newer PKG formats (for Qube3, RaQ 550, etc) contain dependency information
in the PKG metadata, so proper sequencing can be handled automatically if
the PKGs are built correctly.
In the meantime, for the older servers (Qube 2, RaQ1-4, XTR) you have to
"make do" by pushing one patch at a time to all your servers, and _you_
push them in the proper sequence (according to the patch page)...
