[Hwcert-announce-list] [Red Hat Partner Announcement] Red Hat Hardware Certification Test Suite Release Candidate

[Rob Landry]

Greetings Red Hat Worldwide Partners,

Red Hat is pleased to announce the availability of the Red Hat Hardware
Certification Test Suite *Release Candidate* (v7-1.0-7) for testing with
Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 4 and 5.  It is now available at the
following location:

ftp://partners.redhat.com/a166eabc5cf5df158922f9b06e5e7b21/hwcert/

NOTE: The v7 Release Candidate (1.0-7) package is not considered an
official release and should not be used for official certification
testing submissions.  The previous test suite (hts-5.3-17) should
continued to be used for official certifications.

NOTE: The v7 test suite is a name change from the previous hts project.

NOTE: The v7 test suite includes a new bluray read and write test.
Feedback on this particular test is appreciated.

NOTE: The v7 test suite includes fv_* tests to automate and replace the
previous manual installation, configuration and testing of fully
virtualized guests. Test systems should have network access to the
partner ftp site to fully test the operation of these new tests.
Feedback on these particular tests is appreciated.

If you encounter any problems please file any bugs against the 'Red Hat
Hardware Certification Program' product in Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com).
