Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated livecd-tools packages that fix several bugs and adds enhancements are
now available.
Description
The livecd-tools package provides tools for generating and altering live
CDs. It was added to the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor
channel to facilitate deploying plugins.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Previously an error message was displayed when using the livecd-tools to
mount the read-only squashfs filesystem of an ISO file. The "ro" option was
added to the mount command, and the error message is no longer displayed.
(BZ#839804)
- Previously, a subset of the tools in the livecd-tools package were
repackaged and shipped in the rhev-hypervisor-tools packages (including
rhev-hypervisor5-tools and rhev-hypervisor6-tools). Now, the entire
livecd-tools package is shipping with the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
Hypervisor, so the rhev-hypervisor-tools packages are no longer required.
(BZ#839804)
As well, this update adds the following enhancement:
- The livecd-tools package is now included in the Red Hat Enterprise
Virtualization channel to support the future development and deployment of
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization plugins. (BZ#809085)
This version of the livecd-tools package is included in the latest Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor channel. Users are advised to upgrade
to the latest version of this package which corrects these issues.
