Could you explain what specific feature the custom is missing in the Net::SSL module? I have problem with this request for upgrade for these reasons: (1) RHEL does not upgrade packages just only because of "old version". (2) RHEL-6 reached a life-cycle phase in which no new features are allowed. The Net:SSL 2.85 first appear in Crypt-SSLeay-0.58. There are many changes between current RHEL's Crypt-SSLeay-0.57 and the requested 0.58 <http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/NANIS/Crypt-SSLeay-0.72/Changes>. Could you please quote what's the desired item by the customer? The change log contains mostly bug fixes and build script refactoring. So upgrading could be safe. But still I would prefer back-porting a fix. The desired item is Net:SSL version 2.85 or higher for RHEL6. I'm sorry, RHEL-6 is now in production phase 2 where no new features are added into the product <https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/>. If you want new features, you can migrate to RHEL-7 where you can find perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.64-5.el7 that provides Net::SSL 2.85. |

Why do you need this - specific/brief business justification ? Our client needs to update their application before December. The application vendor requires Net:SSL version 2.85 or higher. 4. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla? Unknown - not found. 5. Do you have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)? 12/1/2016 for RHEL6 6. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input? No 7. List any affected packages or components. Net:SSL which is integrated within perl-Crypt-SSLeay.x86_64 8. Will you be assist in testing this functionality if implemented? We have a test environment. Once we have Net:SSL version 2.85 on our Satellite, we will provide it for our client's test servers and they can upgrade the application in Dev/Test and begin verification.
