Chapter 4. 4.1.2 Release Notes
4.1. New Features
This following major enhancement has been introduced in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.1.2.
- New RHUI Installer argument:
--ignore-newer-rhui-packages Previously, when you reran an instance of RHUI Installer which was not up-to-date, RHUI Installer updated the RHUI packages if newer versions were available. As a result, the RHUI system would enter an inconsistent state since the older version of the RHUI Installer package was not aware of potential changes to the RHUI package set.
In addition, running RHUI Installer to change a setting, without updating RHUI in the process, was not supported.
With this update, when you rerun RHUI Installer, it checks whether a newer version is available. If available, RHUI Installer displays an error message stating that you must either update the RHUI Installer package, or rerun the RHUI Installer command using the
--ignore-newer-rhui-packagesargument. The--ignore-newer-rhui-packagesargument prevents the installer from applying any RHUI updates.
4.2. Known Issues
This part describes known issues in Red Hat Update Infrastructure 4.1.2.
rhui-installerignores custom RHUI CA when updating to a newer version of RHUIWhen updating from RHUI version 4.1.0 or older,
rhui-installerignores the existing custom RHUI CA and generates a new RHUI CA regardless of the parameter value set in theanswer.ymlfile. Consequently, RHUI fails to recognize clients which use the older RHUI CA. To work around this problem, specify the custom RHUI CA when running therhui-installer --reruncommand.# rhui-installer --rerun --user-supplied-rhui-ca-crt <custom_RHUI_CA.crt> --user-supplied-rhui-ca-key <custom_RHUI_CA_key>For more information, see Updating Red Hat Update Infrastructure.
