Details

A new Linux Test Project (ltp) package is now available.

The Linux Test Project is a joint project with SGI, IBM, OSDL, and Bull
that delivers test suites to the open source community that validate the
reliability, robustness, and stability of Linux.

The ltp package offers a collection of tools for testing the Linux kernel
and related features.

Users of the Red Hat Hardware Certification packages should install this
new package.


Solution

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

To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filenames]

where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the
desired RPMs.

Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,
launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.
