Major Corrections
The following are the major bug fixes and workarounds released as part of RHN Satellite Server 5.1.1.
• A new --act-native or -n option for up2date on Solaris has been added, which forces the Solaris
package management backend to upgrade packages to their most updated versions, regardless of
the size or number of dependencies included in the upgrade.
• Kickstart URLs are stored as file paths, allowing Satellite to determine when to dynamically adjust
the hostname rendered in the kickstart file. You may customize this value by changing the path to
a fully qualified URL, which will appear in the kickstart file as it is entered in the Create Kickstart
Profile screen.
• An issue has been addressed that prevented Monitoring on RHN Proxy for i386, s390, and s390x
from functioning properly when registered to an RHN Satellite on x86_64.
