RHEA-2011:0587 - Product Enhancement Advisory

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.
