Rollup patches are usually cumulative collections of one-off patches for an individual product.
Family pack patches are collections of patches for a set of related products (a product family).
Rollup patches are usually smaller than family pack patches, and therefore take less time to apply.
Family pack can patches often contain or supersede related rollup patches. However, because they have broader impact, family pack patches are usually released less frequently than rollup patches.
Rollup Patch (RUP): An aggregation of patches that may be at the functional level, or at a specific product/family release level. For example, a Flexfields rollup patch contains all the latest patches related to Flexfields at the time the patch was created. A Marketing Family 11.5.10 rollup patch contains all the latest Marketing patches released since, and applicable to 11.5.10
Family Pack: An aggregation of patches at the product family level. Family product codes always end in "_PF" and family packs are given alphabetical sequence such as 11i.HR_PF.B, 11i.HR_PF.C, and 11i.HR_PF.D. Family packs are cumulative. In other words, Discrete Manufacturing Family Pack G (11i.DMF_PF.G) contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.F, which contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.E, and so on.
If you search the rollup patch thru Metalink, it would tell you whether it is included in any other patchset (i.e. Family Pack) or not.
anything that encompasses more a group of applications/products is a family pack. For example, a Financials Family Pack could have files/updates/bug fixes for GL, AP, AR, etc. but a AP rollup patch will have it for AP only.
In addition to this if you run patchsets.sh, you will get a very good idea of how Oracle separates these ou
