[Hwcert-announce-list] [Red Hat Partner Announcement] Red Hat Ready Certification Test EOL 19-Jun-2008

[Rob Landry]

Greetings Red Hat Worldwide Partners,

Starting 19-Jun-2008, hardware certification results packaged in the Red 
Hat Ready (rhr2) format will no longer be accepted for hardware 
certification. The rhr2 certification package will reach end of life 
status in the Red Hat Hardware Certification process.

The launch of the Hardware Test Suite (hts) in 2007 began the transition 
process from rhr2 to hts for submitting certification results on Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 4. With the forthcoming launch of the GA HTS package 
scheduled for mid-June, the Hardware Catalog 
(http://hardware.redhat.com) will be updated to reject rhr2 results 
packages on 19-Jun-2008.

Red Hat is pleased to provide the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Hardware 
Certification Test Suite (HTS) Beta (hts-5.2-13.el4) and documentation 
for use with any Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 minor release at the 
following location:

ftp://partners.redhat.com/a166eabc5cf5df158922f9b06e5e7b21/hwcert/noarch

NOTE: This HTS Beta is *not* for use in official certifications, 
regardless if used in combination with GA-level releases of Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux.

Red Hat values your ongoing participation and testing in the Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux Hardware Certification efforts.  Thank you for your 
continued partnership. If you have any questions or comments, please do 
not hesitate to contact your Partner Manager or Technical Account Manager.

Regards,

The Red Hat Hardware Certification Team.
