______________________________________________________________________________

Announcement ID:    SUSE-RU-2018:4234-1
Rating:             moderate
References:         #1110865 #1112703 #1115085 
Affected Products:

______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that has three recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   This is an update for openvswitch to version 2.8.5. The update addressed a
   lot
   of issues. For a detailed overview of all the addressed issues, please
    visit
   our bug tracker (bsc#1112703).

   It also has some improvements for the python packaging (bsc#1115085):
     * Rename python*-openvswitch subpackages to python*-ovs to follow the
       openSUSE policy that packages should be named after the modules they
       install.
     * Build the JSON C bindings and as a result the 'noarch' BuildArch needs
       to be removed.
     * Drop the python*-openvswitch-test packages and merge them with the
       test subpackage.
     * Build the python bindings using setuptools.
     * Include the egg-info package.
     * Use libopenvswitch as dependency to python bindings.
