Topic
An updated SLOF package that fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
Description
Slimline Open Firmware (SLOF) is initialization and boot firmware based on the IEEE-1275 (Open Firmware) standard, developed by engineers of the IBM Corporation. Note that this package is normally not necessary to install, because it is a dependency of the qemu-kvm package.
The SLOF package has been upgraded to upstream version 20150313, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version and brings SLOF in line with the current version of the qemu-kvm-rhev package. (BZ#1225720)
Users of SLOF are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.
