RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
One of the packages shipped by subscription-manager is subscription-manager-migration, which contains rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm; this tool is used to convert a system from RHN to RHSM. Some notes about this:
- RHN is gone from the Red Hat servers for many years, so rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm is not usable with Hosted
- RHN in Satellite is available up to Satellite 5, which is EOL for a long time
- rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm is not free of maintenance: see bug 2014646 and bug 2147371 as examples of added work because of this
- RHEL 8 will be maintained for at least 7 more years
Hence, since rhn-migrate-classic-to-rhsm is an unusable tool, then let's just stop building the subscription-manager-migration altogether. This will avoid investing more development and testing resources on something that is no more of use.
