Topic

An updated hwcert-client package that fixes several bugs and adds multiple enhancements is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hardware Certification.

Description

hwcert-client, the Red Hat Enterprise Linux hardware certification test suite, verifies the compatibility of hardware devices. Each hwcert-client test run builds a results database for submission to Red Hat's hardware catalog as an RPM package. hwcert-client replaces v7, and Red Hat Hardware Test Suite (HTS) for certifying hardware for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This updated hwcert-client package includes numerous bug fixes and enhancements. Space precludes documenting all of these changes in this advisory. Documentation for these changes will be available shortly from the Test Suite Release Notes:
