RHBA-2014:1427 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated librtas packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are
now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The librtas packages contain a set of libraries that allow access to the
Run-Time Abstraction Services (RTAS) on 64-bit PowerPC architectures. The
librtasevent library contains definitions and routines for analyzing RTAS
events.

The librtas packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.3.10, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
Notably, this update adds RTAS support for PCI hot plug support on POWERPC 8
systems and improves support for RTAS Event parsing on little-endian POWERPC
systems. In addition, the librtasevent library is now able to analyze hot plug
events. (BZ#1073037)

Users of librtas are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs and add these enhancements.
