An update that has three fixes can now be installed.

Description:

This update for kiwi fixes the following issues:

  • Update to v7.04.50

  • Fixed udev startup Due to a change in the udev rules an error in kiwi was triggered that outlines an incomplete udev startup sequence. This patch fixes the creation of the dev tree by udev and is related to bsc#1135762

  • Set SERVER variable as expected by netboot code (#674) This commit sets $host from $SERVER variable if present and no $kiwiserver is given from the command line. The same criteria applies for $type and $SERVERTYPE variables. Fixes bsc#1133537

  • Fixed GCE image bundler and tarball name The GCE bundler still looks for the old name format and failed to find the image result. In addition the present name format for the tarball is missing the architecture information and did not follow pattern we use in kiwi-ng. This Fixes bsc#1126217
