RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
TIMELINE_LIMIT_WEEKLY is ignored although the config file has it. Googling for the problem took me to http://h20564.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=mmr_kc-0127682 , which states that this hasn't been pulled in from upstream. Can this be back-ported to RHEL 7.2 ?
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): snapper-0.1.7-10.el7.x86_64
How reproducible: Easily
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set TIMELINE_LIMIT_WEEKLY in the config
Actual results:
No weekly snapshots taken
Expected results:
Last n weekly snapshots should be preserved where TIMELINE_LIMIT_WEEKLY=n
Additional info:
We can consider this for 7.3 through a version upgrade.
For 7.2 we would need two things:
1) we'd have to determine whether or not it's a low-risk and straightforward backport;
2) we'd need some justification explaining why this is absolutely necessary because, on the face of it, this looks like a new feature which we would not normally consider as a 'fix' to an already-shipped release.
