Greetings Red Hat Partners, We are pleased to announce the general availability (GA) of version 2.6 of the Red Hat Certification Test Suite. The new version of the test suite *is* an official release and should be used for all new Red Hat product certification activities. As a reminder, this version replaces the previous 2.5 release which will continue to be supported until the end of September 2016. We will no longer accept new certifications using version 2.5 or earlier of the test suite after the end of September.
Highlights of the new version include: * The call-home features for importing products and certification information from and uploading results directly to the certification site (hardware.redhat.com) have been updated to use Red Hat Customer Portal single sign-on (SSO) instead of Bugzilla credentials for the hardware certification program. NOTE: The update to SSO is a transitional change for the hardware certification program starting with redhat-certification-2.6 release. You are not required to move immediately to SSO. A summary of this transition was sent previously in a mail with the subject “Changes coming to Red Hat Hardware Certification login” and details will be presented shortly in a follow-up mail with the subject “Support for single sign-on added to Red Hat Hardware Certification”. * The container certification program is no longer displayed in the web site interface. The command line services remain available. * A bug where using rhcert-ci may return an application fault -32601 has been fixed * Tests will now explicitly fail when the required packages have not been installed. * Better support has been added in both the LTS and SUT for use on networks with an http proxy. * The unsupported hardware check has been expanded to include detection of the the dmesg warning messages. * CPU scaling requirements have been relaxed to allow passing results from processors that can only scale down to +100 MHz of their claimed minimum. This is an increase from the +50 MHz range allowed prior. The new Red Hat Certification Hardware Test Suite 2.6 packages are available at the following locations: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Test Suite Packages ---------------------------------------------- redhat-certification-2.6-20160701 redhat-certification-backend-2.6-20160701 Redhat-certification-hardware-1.7.1-20160627 redhat-certification-hardware-preview-1.7.1-20160627 redhat-certification-information-1.7.1-20160627 Download location: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/282 Alternate download location: http://people.redhat.com/gcase/rhcert-2/rhel7/ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Test Suite Packages ---------------------------------------------- redhat-certification-backend-2.6-20160701 Redhat-certification-hardware-1.6.6-20160627.2 redhat-certification-hardware-preview-1.6.6-20160627.2 redhat-certification-information-1.6.6-20160627.2 Download location: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/282 Alternate download location: http://people.redhat.com/gcase/rhcert-2/rhel6/ Note: Due to the change in sign-in method, we will retain the last Bugzilla-supporting versions of all the packages in both the Customer Portal download location as usual, and also on the alternate download location which normally only provides the latest packages.
