rBuilder:Release Notes/3

From rPath Wiki

The following release notes apply to 3.x versions of rBuilder.

rBuilder 3.1.6

• Fixed: A kernel vulnerability that allowed a local user deterministic privilege escalation attack. (RPL-2237)
• Fixed in 3.1.6-0.5-1 and later: Some backup-creation directories were missing, causing the preparation for migration to rBuilder Appliance 4.0.1 or later to fail. (RPL-2656)

rBuilder 3.1.5

• New: rBuilder Appliance 3.1.5 contains the ability to create a special type of backup which may be used to migrate rBuilder's Conary repositories and data to an installation of rBuilder Appliance 4.0.1 or later.
• Updated: rBuilder Appliance uses Conary 1.1.31.11.

rBuilder 3.1.4.1 Hotfix

Version 3.1.4.1 of rBuilder Appliance is a hotfix; as such, the full version is visible only on group-rbuilder in the rPath Appliance Platform Agent. All other versions displayed in the Appliance Agent user interface will appear as 3.1.4.

• A SQLite database error has been fixed. The problem may cause disk I/O errors to occur doing Conary repository operations. (CNY-2012)

rBuilder 3.1.4

• rBuilder Appliance now uses Conary version 1.1.31.4.
• rBuilder Appliance can mirror external projects.
• Group Builder includes a new physical address extension (PAE) checkbox used to include a PAE kernel to better support Xen Enterprise virtual images. Note that this checkbox is always there, even though it has no effect for 64-bit images.
• In Group Builder, if the PAE box is checked, but Xen is not checked, the result will appear to be non-PAE, though the build will include both PAE and non-PAE kernels.
• Fix: Issue creating Update CD on rBuilder appliances that had been updated from previous versions.

rBuilder 3.1.3 Interim Release

• rBuilder Appliance now uses Conary 1.1.31.
• Multiple labels can be selected for outbound mirroring.
• Outbound mirroring settings can be edited.
• Image types include Update ISO: an ISO containing Conary changesets for updates, but without the installer software. Only specially configured new installs of rBuilder will correctly build Update ISOs. An Update ISO build will never start on upgraded rBuilder appliances, or on appliances that have not been correctly configured.
• rBuilder only writes conaryProxy to the file /conaryrc if the internal Conary proxy is enabled (RBL-1790).
• Minor Internet Explorer rendering issues are fixed.
• "Download Now" links on project home pages are reorganized.
• Fix: See the rBuilder/Administration Guide:Version-specific Updates for a note about new installs of this release and updates from versions 3.1.2 or earlier to this release. Follow the instructions if applicable.

rBuilder 3.1.3

• rBuilder Appliance now uses Conary 1.1.26.
• The net-snmp package has been updated.
• Sendmail is now used as the MTA instead of Postfix.
• rBuilder's internal caching Conary proxy has been improved.
• A bug that prevented the repository browser from generating a diff in certain circumstances has been resolved.
