Description of problem:
libnl3 version 3.6.0 was release recently https://github.com/thom311/libnl/releases/tag/libnl3_6_0
This is the first release in a while and contains some fixes that'd I'd appreciate seeing in CentOS 9 Stream, I'm curious if libnl3 could be updated.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current libnl3 version is: 3.5.0.
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install libnl3
Actual results:
libnl3 version 3.5.0 is installed
Expected results:
This is what I'd expect but I'd like to see version 3.6.0
Additional info:
Awesome thank you! If you don't mind another questions, is it likely to be rebased on CentOS Stream 8 as well and/or should I open a separate ticket for that?
Possible. I need to discuss that first.
In principle, the stronger the request, the more likely it happens :)
Could you shortly explain why that is important to you?
There are a few patches primarily this one:
https://github.com/thom311/libnl/commit/bab9e77c87d3b596e77d669b0a827b50e725bb62
That are important to our infrastructure and that we've been back porting for CentOS. I'd like to keep our drift from what's upstream small so this seems like an opportunity. If not released in CentOS Stream 8 I'll probably release it in the Hyperscale SIG for 8. But I did want to see it get into CentOS 9.
I'm not sure why no one submitted a ticket to have just that patch back ported into CentOS earlier but it came to my attention again when I saw the new release.
upstream release 3.6.0 has some issues. We will soon do a 3.7.0 which we put into rhel-9.1 and rhel-8.7.
The only reason to wait with this a bit more, is to give upstream more time to find additional problems with 3.6.0.
Having said that, libnl-3.6.0 which is currently in rhel-9.1 should be mostly fine.
Back to ASSIGNED.
