RHEA-2010:0233 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An enhanced tog-pegasus package is now available.

Description

OpenPegasus WBEM Services for Linux enables management solutions that
deliver increased control of enterprise resources. WBEM is a platform and
resource independent DMTF standard that defines a common information model
and communication protocol for monitoring and controlling resources from
diverse sources.

This update includes the following enhancements:

• the updated tog-pegasus package is rebased to upstream version 2.9.1.

(BZ#518077)

Note: the OpenPegasus Feature Status page summarizes the changes made in
this version, http://www.openpegasus.org/page.tpl?CALLER=index.tpl&ggid=799

• when being installed, the tog-pegasus package displayed a warning message

about the possibility of repository corruption occurring. This is because
the post install stage ran the command cimmofl to update the repository.
This message is technically accurate but misleading as the chance of
corruption is remote and there is no way to avoid it. The package SPEC file
has been updated to include the -W parameter when running cimmofl in the
post install stage. The warning message is no longer displayed. (BZ#529161)

Users of OpenPegasus should upgrade to this updated package, which adds
these enhancements.
