checksysreport performs some automatic tests against a directory containing an untarred Red Hat Enterprise Linux sysreport. You will need a valid Red Hat Network login in order to use it, as it fetches information from RHN using the RHN API (see https://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api/). A graphical tool, yadarh, is also included: it uses the cache generated by checksysreport to display RPMs in a given channel and lets you browse them to have a list of errata and new entries in changelogs that come with other versions of the same package.

Changes:
This version 1.0 comes with a server and a client
side, so several clients can share a common cache
repository. There is a checksysreport-server
package that shares its cache to checksysreport
clients using postgresql. The server also accepts
sysreports to analyze from a Web page. A cosmetic
bug when copying changelog diffs in yadarh has
been fixed. Fetching data from RHN is threaded. A
client can be configured to use a satellite
instead of rhn.redhat.com. The makefile works for
108.redhat.com’s svn. The packaging was made
cleaner.
