Comment 1 Štěpán Němec 2021-10-07 14:54:55 UTC

I support the request for making nftables-devel available from a public repository.
For comparison, iptables-devel is available from the BaseOS repo in RHEL 8
(in RHEL 9 it's in AppStream).

Josh, we have errata 82743 with build nftables-0.9.3-24.el8. Looking at your
comment in bug 1969710, everything should be in place to ship nftables-devel
into CRB, right?

What are the next steps, please? Once approved, I'll mark said BZ as dup of
this one and add a comment as suggested.

Thanks!

I'm assuming you want the same thing in RHEL 9, correct?

Oh, of course. Thanks for the heads-up! Apparently I misread comment 1 and
thought it's already there. Should I clone this ticket for RHEL9? FWIW, we have
errata 83858 with build nftables-0.9.8-10.el9 there already.

Thanks!
