Bug Fixes

BZ#711001
Prior to this update, the /etc/yaboot.conf parser failed during install when the quoted string was too long. This update modifies the code to significantly extend the size of quoted strings. Now, the /etc/yaboot.conf file parses as expected.
BZ#750199
Prior to this update, yaboot could only be build using the mock tool which creates a 32-bit PowerPC environment in chroot. This updated package supports building with rpmbuild.
All users of yaboot are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs.
