Description Vít Ondruch 2014-12-02 12:22:20 UTC

Description of problem:
bsdtar subpackage is provided on all Fedoras and RHEL7 and it would be nice to have bsdtar available on RHEL6 as well. It would make easier to provide Vagrant in RHSCL (otherwise we will be forced to maintain additional version of libarchive with enabled bsdtar, thus duplicating maintenance effort).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q libarchive
libarchive-2.8.3-4.el6_2.x86_64


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
bsdtar is not available.


Expected results:
bsdtar is available.

When Red Hat shipped 6.8 on May 10, 2016 RHEL 6 entered Production Phase 2. 
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Production_2_Phase
That means only "Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released"
This BZ is now going to be closed as it does not appear to meet Phase 2 criteria. 
If this BZ is deemed critical to the customer please re-open this BZ so it can be evaluated for 6.9.
