+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #594419 +++ ----- $ rpm -q --qf "%{SUMMARY}\n%{DESCRIPTION}\n" -p febootstrap-2.7-1.el6.x86_64.rpm Bootstrap a new Fedora system (like debootstrap) febootstrap is a Fedora equivalent to Debian's debootstrap. You can use it to create a basic Fedora filesystem, and build initramfs (initrd.img) or filesystem images. febootstrap also includes a separate tool to minimize filesystems by removing unneeded locales, documentation etc. The main difference from other appliance building tools is that this one doesn't need to be run as root. ----- Since this package is being used in RHEL as well, the summary and description should be updated accordingly.

Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Package description was tweaked as: -- $ rpm -q --qf "%{SUMMARY}\n%{DESCRIPTION}\n" -p febootstrap-2.6-1.el5.2.noarch.rpm Bootstrap a new Red Hat Enterprise Linux system (like debootstrap) febootstrap is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux equivalent to Debian's debootstrap. You can use it to create a basic Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Fedora filesystem, and build initramfs (initrd.img) or filesystem images. febootstrap also includes a separate tool to minimize filesystems by removing unneeded locales, documentation etc. The main difference from other appliance building tools is that this one doesn't need to be run as root. -- This should be accurate for RHEL.
