Description
v7, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hardware certification test suite, verifies the

for submission to Red Hat's hardware catalog as an RPM package. v7 replaces Red
Hat Hardware Test Suite (HTS) for certifying hardware for use with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
This update fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements. Documentation for
these bug fixes and enhancements is available at:
Users who require v7 should install this updated package.
