Thanks for your report. An RHEL update containing an updated configuration file would be very likely already obsolete by the time it gets thoroughly tested and issued as a part of an RHEL update release. The upstream configuration file available at http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/jwhois/jwhois/example/jwhois.conf?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain contains updated configuration, you can use it instead of /etc/jwhois.conf shipped in the RHEL jwhois package. The IPv6 patch from #191286 should be released upstream before it appears in RHEL, otherwise it might be necessary to maintain the patch (potentially incompatible with upstream jwhois) forever. I'll keep the report open to track the #191286 patch acceptance. If you are a RHEL customer and have an active support entitlement, please contact official Red Hat Support at https://www.redhat.com/apps/support/ to allow correct prioritization of this issue. Hmm, are jwhois maintainers are thinking about a next release in a short time frame...I'm unsure...the last one is rather old and all of the IPv6 regexp data extensions are currently maintained by packagers. So to reach the 99% ;-) IPv6 support for RHEL5, the mentioned patch https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191286#c2 should be maintained by RH until jwhois maintainers are (proudly) present a new version...so this would require staging to FC5 and FC6-devel (test2 ???) soon to become available at least in RHEl5 (and be "backported" to at least RHEL4 also). For me personally, it's more or less a low-prio issue (for the moment), but I can sure open a call if it helps. Unfortunately jwhois releases are not very frequent; nevertheless I'd strongly prefer an official upstream release with the new configuration options. A support ticket would mainly affect the prioritization of the issue (whether it is considered for an update release) - but probably not override the upstream release requirement. This and seemingly related 204065 have been hanging around for two years without getting out and this still has an open support case against it. (Though with the limitation of only one BZ per IT, the association can't be made - IT 100898). Nominating for FasTrack to see if we can get this out. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2009-0055.html |
