Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated hwcert-client package that fixes several bugs and adds multiple
enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hardware
Certification.
Description
hwcert-client, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hardware certification test suite,
verifies the compatibility of hardware devices. Each hwcert-client test run
builds a results database for submission to Red Hat's hardware catalog as an RPM
package. hwcert-client replaces v7, and Red Hat Hardware Test Suite (HTS) for
certifying hardware for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
This updated hwcert-client package includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Documentation
for these changes will be available shortly from the Test Suite Release Notes:
All users of hwcert-client are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
provides numerous bug fixes and enhancements.
