> qa_ack'd 🦆 - apologies for the delay.

That's OK. You set ITM to 7 which is smaller than DTM-8 set by me. Is this a mistake? Another issue is you haven't set "+" for qa_ack.
Comment 7 Jiri Dluhos 2021-04-18 20:40:52 UTC 
Oops... apologies again - it seems I had an acute case of brain eclipse :(
qa_ack+ set.
ITM set to 9 - please tell if more time is needed.

That's fine. The upstream patch has been ready. So ITM9 is reasonable:)

Hi Jiri,

I've done the scratch-build. Do you need to test it? If yes, the link is https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/taskinfo?taskID=36257231.

Btw, previously after finishing scractch-building and the testing, I directly ran rhpkg build and create an advisory on errata. This seems to be inappropriate. I'm new to the process. If I make a mistake before getting familiar with the procedure, please correct me. Thanks

Comment 16 Jiri Dluhos 2021-04-27 13:48:08 UTC 
Fix confirmed also with the newest dmidecode-3.2-10.el8.x86_64. :)
