IBM is pleased to announce that Patch Management for SUSE is releasing support for Btrfs snapshot rollbacks and several enhancements for package installation and custom repository management.
-
SLE Btrfs Snapshot Management
You can manage Btrfs filesystem snapshots by using the rollback feature of the SLE Btrfs Snapshot Management dashboard. This feature allows you to restore to a previous system state at which a snapshot was taken. -
Enhanced package installation task
You can use the Install packages by using zypper task (ID #19) to install software that is in your custom repositories.
Custom repositories can give you the flexibility to control what you can deploy on the endpoints in your environment. The Install packages by using zypper task is enhanced to allow you to update all the packages on the endpoint and to install packages by using additional zypper flags or based on the CVE number. -
Enhanced SLE Custom Repository Management dashboard
The repository registration feature in the SLE Custom Repository Management dashboard now allows you to enable autorefresh and URI checks.
