[Tim Abbott]

Synopsis: New Ksplice Uptrack client provides several improvements and bug fixes
Version: 0.9.10
Issue date: 2009-11-10

OBTAINING NEW VERSION

We recommend that all Ksplice Uptrack users upgrade to the latest version.
You can upgrade to the latest version of Ksplice Uptrack by running:

# yum update uptrack

DESCRIPTION

The updated Ksplice Uptrack client contains the following improvements:

* The update installation process is now about 15% faster.

* Uptrack's log rotation has been adjusted to keep at most 5MB of logs.

* The frequency of needing to retry update installation on busy
systems has been significantly reduced.

* Several error messages have been improved.  An error message has
been added for the case where Uptrack was accidentally installed in a
Virtuozzo container, rather than the hardware node.

The updated Ksplice Uptrack client includes fixes for the following
issues:

* After a machine using the rtl8169 ethernet driver reboots, Uptrack might 
report that some updates to that driver could not be installed even though 
those updates were installed successfully.

* When the Uptrack cron job is run before the Uptrack client has ever been
run, Uptrack might display an error.

* The Uptrack client now supports being run under sudo on RHEL, when
/usr/sbin is not contained in the PATH environment variable.
