   An update that has 6 recommended fixes can now be
   installed. It includes one version update.

Description:


   This consolidated update for KIWI provides the following
   fixes and  enhancements:

   *

   Move kiwi-tools from the Software Development Kit
   Add-On to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

   *

   Fixed creation of mdadm.conf. The file is missing if
   the original RAID setup is used without formatting.
   (bnc#829504)

   *

   Fixed broken shell string comparison in KIWILinuxRC
   if the variable $loader is not set. (bnc#829537)

   *

   Fixed getSingleInstSourceSatSolvable() in terms of
   pattern handling. The function stores projectxml always
   with the suffix .gz which indicates a compressed version of
   the file. But the patterns information file could also
   contain a non-compressed version of patterns.xml which is
   then wrongly used as a compressed file. (bnc#822247)

   *

   Make sure IFS change in kernelCheck function will be
   applied only in local scope. (bnc#838921)

   *

   Follow up fix for the IFS restore in kernelCheck
   function. The local scope of IFS is visible to functions
   called from inside this block. Thus localizing IFS does not
   help, we have to reset the value inside the function.
   (bnc#838921)

   *

   Make sure systemIntegrity is set correctly to 'clean'
   for netboot deployments into a ramdisk. (bnc#839157)

   *

   Follow up patch for setting systemIntegrity for
   netboot deployments into a ramdisk. Along with
   systemIntegrity the partition code has to check for
   haveRamDisk too. (bnc#839157)

   *

   Fixed partition alignment for optimal performance on
   images and repartitioning images with more than one
   partition. This patch also ensures the repartition code
   creates an aligned table. (bnc#853253)
