-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-8393 2012-05-26 03:16:09 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : schroot Product : Fedora 17 Version : 1.4.25 Release : 7.fc17 URL : http://packages.debian.org/schroot Summary : Execute commands in a chroot environment Description : schroot allows users to execute commands or interactive shells in different chroots. Any number of named chroots may be created, and access permissions given to each, including root access for normal users, on a per-user or per-group basis. Additionally, schroot can switch to a different user in the chroot, using PAM for authentication and authorisation. All operations are logged for security. Several different types of chroot are supported, including normal directories in the filesystem, and also block devices. Sessions, persistent chroots created on the fly from files (tar with optional compression and zip) and LVM snapshots are also supported. schroot supports kernel personalities, allowing the programs run inside the chroot to have a different personality. For example, running 32-bit chroots on 64-bit systems, or even running binaries from alternative operating systems such as SVR4 or Xenix. schroot also integrates with sbuild, to allow building packages with all supported chroot types, including session-managed chroot types such as LVM snapshots. schroot shares most of its options with dchroot, but offers vastly more functionality. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Additional BR to enable lvm-snapshot feature Update to latest upstream, fix for BZ #811856 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Fri May 25 2012 Zach Carter <[email protected]> - 1.4.25-7 - Add lvm2-devel to BR, enables lvm-snapshot support * Thu Apr 12 2012 Zach Carter <[email protected]> - 1.4.25-1 - New upstream version (removes need for gcc47-patch) - Add BR to enable unit tests, lvm snapshot, btrfs snapshot support (BZ 811856) - Add schroot-test-sbuild-util-path.patch -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #811856 - Add features in build: lvm-snapshot, btrfs-snapshot, unit testing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=811856 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
