available.

[Updated 21st September 2010]
This advisory has been updated with the correct URL for accessing the v7
Technical Notes, and a corrected Solution text. This update does not change the
packages in any way.

[Updated 20 October 2010]
This advisory has once more been updated with a corrected URL for accessing the
v7 Hardware Certification Test Suite. Neither this update nor the previous one
have changed the packages in any way.

Description

v7, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hardware certification test suite, verifies the
compatibility of hardware devices. Each v7 test run builds a results database
for submission to Red Hat's hardware catalog as an RPM package. v7 replaces Red
Hat Hardware Test Suite (HTS) for certifying hardware for use with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.

This update fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements. Documentation for
these bug fixes and enhancements is available at:

http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/v7_Hardware_Certification_Test_Suite/1/html/Technical_Notes/index.html

Users who require v7 should install this updated package.

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
