[Linuxcommand-announce] rh-errata 1.2.4 released

[<bs...@pa...>]

rh-errata version 1.2.4 has been released.

rh-errata
=========
This program is used to get update and errata files from an ftp site
(presumably a mirror of Red Hat's own site).  The program has a number
of useful features including:

	* Only downloads files that you have not already downloaded
	* Verifies the integrity of each downloaded file
	* Will optionally produce a report that indicates the
	  status of each downloaded file:
		- needs installation
		- already installed
		- not needed
		- obsolete
		- corrupt

While this program was designed to support Red Hat Linux, it will
probably work on any system that is RPM based.  Note that this
program requires rpm version 3.0 or later.

CHANGELOG for rh-errata
=======================

Version 1.2.4 -- Sun, Jul 28, 2002 08:48:22 AM
----------------------------------------------
Added -n option to support multiple download attempts.  This option
is useful downloading from busy FTP sites.

Version 1.2.3 -- Sat, Feb 09, 2002 08:47:53 PM
----------------------------------------------
Updated default FTP site (again) and made various documentation
improvements.

Version 1.2.0 -- Sun, Apr 01, 2001 12:23:28 PM
----------------------------------------------
Added new "-c" option to delete obsolete and corrupt packages from the
repository.  Fixed path name on default mirror site to reflect new
directory naming scheme used on Red Hat mirrors.  Various documentation
clean-ups.

11/24/00 10:09:17 ver. 1.1.0
----------------------------
Added new intelligent mode that only attempts to download packages
installed on the system running rh-errata.  Also added feature that
attempts to re-download files that appear corrupt in the repository
(perhaps as the result of a previous failed download attempt).

07/22/00 18:04:48 ver. 1.0.1
----------------------------
Added support for kernel architecture option (-k) and noarch.  Improved
temp file handling.  Changed default ftp site to ftp.valinux.com which
seems more up-to-date.
