RHBA-2012:0847 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libhbaapi packages that fix multiple bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The libhbaapi library is the Host Bus Adapter (HBA) API library for Fibre
Channel and Storage Area Network (SAN) resources. It contains a unified API that
programmers can use to access, query, observe and modify SAN and Fibre Channel
services.

• The libhbaapi build environment has been upgraded to upstream version 2.2.5,

which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version. (BZ#788504)

This update also fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the hba.conf file was not marked for exclusion from

verification in the libhbaapi specification file. As a consequence, the file
verify function "rpm -V libhbaapi" reported an error in the hba.conf file if the
file was changed. This update marks hba.conf in the spec file as "%verify(not
md5 size mtime)". Now, the hba.conf file is no longer incorrectly verified.
(BZ#806731)

All users of libhbaapi are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix these bugs.
