RHBA-2013:0667 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated v7 package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux Hardware Certification.

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 the following bug:

• v7 did not have the complete GA kernel release information for Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 5.9 in its local files. Consequently, if the System Under Test
(SUT) could not reach the Red Hat Partner's File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site
for an update, the info test failed. To fix this bug, the v7 1.5 R33
certification kit info test now includes an updated XML file with an entry for
the GA kernel release included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9. As a result, the
info test passes kernel verification. (BZ#919493)

Users of v7 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this
bug.
