View affected systems

Topic

Updated febootstrap packages that add two enhancements are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

febootstrap is used to create a basic Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora
filesystem, and builds initramfs (initrd.img) or filesystem images.

This update adds the following enhancements:

  • The febootstrap packages have been upgraded to upstream version 2.11, which

provides a number of bug fixes and one enhancement over the previous version.
(BZ#628849)

  • This update provides the subpackage febootstrap-supermin-helper for the

runtime helper program. Now, libguestfs runtime depends only on
febootstrap-supermin-helper, which reduces the dependencies. (BZ#669839)

All febootstrap users are advised upgrade to these updated packages, which add
these enhancements.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259/
