RHBA-2011:0754 - rds-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

rds-tools bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

An updated rds-tools package that fixes bugs and provides enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rds-tools package provides a set of support tools for the Reliable Datagram Socket (RDS) protocol.

The rds-tools package has been upgraded to upstream version 2.0.4, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#636908)

In addition, this update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the "rds-ping" command failed because the RDS protocol did not automatically enable the available underlying transports. This update adds a configuration file to the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, and the transport modules are now loaded automatically whenever the main RDS module is loaded. (BZ#643113)

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated rds-tools package, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.

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