Transaction Summary
============================
Upgrade      21 Package(s)  


These updates contain the following fixes: 

base-alpine:
==========

The login.php page of the BlueOnyx GUI wasn't very compatible with mobile 
devices such as the Apple iPad, iPhone or Android based tablets or phones. So 
this update contains a new login.php page which is a bit more conforming to 
standards and which should help with most of these issues.

base-ssl:
========

An eight year old bug was discovered in a base-ssl.mod handler: The 
mod_ssl.conf file for AdmServ didn't get updated with the path to the 
SSLCACertificateFile, as the handler was looking for that file in the wrong 
location. This update fixes that problem.

base-raid:
=========

One include file of base-raid GUI pages still wasn't entirely PHP-5.3 
conforming. This update addresses these issues.

Scientific Linux 6.1 updates:
======================

Scientific Linux recently released version 6.1 of their RHEL6 clone. However, 
they handle minor version updates slightly differently than CentOS: Manual 
intervention is needed to perform an update from (say) SL 6.0 to SL 6.1. To 
get the "old" behaviour back, we temporarily serve the RPM "sl-release-6.1" 
out of the BlueOnyx 5107R YUM repository. That allows a simple "yum update" 
call to perform an update from Scientific Linux 6.0 to Scientific Linux 6.1. 

Actually "yum update" needs to run twice: 

During the first run the "sl-release-6.1" RPM is installed and then during the 
next (automatic or manual) YUM update process all the OS related updates will 
be fetched from the Scientific Linux YUM repositories.
