Description Pavel Moravec 2018-02-27 10:45:19 UTC

I would like to rebase sos package in RHEL7.6 to upstream 3.6 version planned to be released in June this year. Reasons:

- few features (improved memory requirements of a sos run, concurrent execution of plugins) would be welcomed in 7.6 altogether, while they can interfere each other / other improvements we want in 7.6. So it is much easier to pack a stable upstream version than try to apply patches to downstream

- there will be smaller "testing distance" between upstream and RHEL

- rebasing will simplify downstream work, esp. later on when working on z-stream patches


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-3.5-*


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -q sos


Actual results:
sos-3.5-*


Expected results:
sos-3.6-*

Steve,
could you please pm_ack+ this rebase?

sosreport is crucial package / tool for CEE and it is important to get the new fixes and plug-ins and improvements from upstream to downstream, to simplify supportability of our products and make the work of CEE support engineers more effective. To follow that, a rebase will adopt the new changes the easiest way with a minimum risk of a regression.

Thanks in advance for consideration (and the ACK :) ).

(there is an omission in:

# sosreport

sosreport (version 3.5)

..
#

that is present in 3.6-1 while I git-pushed fix for it now; this will appear in 3.6-2 during Monday)
