Comment 1 Nils Philippsen 2008-10-30 15:08:48 UTC

Mind that a new version will be pulled at feature freeze, not code freeze (maybe just a matter of nomenclature). Ping me when that version is available.

Comment 2 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-03-03 00:30:29 UTC

libhugetlbfs 2.2 should be packaged in Fedora. The three RPMs are

libhugetlbfs
libhugetlbfs-devel
libhugetlbfs-utils

Please pull all three packages. Thanks

Comment 3 Nils Philippsen 2009-03-18 10:15:32 UTC

As version 2.2 is now in Fedora, this should get pulled for RHEL6.

Eric,

We need to keep this bug opened until we test it in rhel6 since this is a rhel6 feature.

------- Comment From lxie.com 2009-09-09 23:57 EDT-------
move to accept based on its external status (Modified)

Comment 5 John Jarvis 2009-10-15 14:59:57 UTC

IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback

Comment 6 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2009-10-30 22:11:34 UTC

Fixed in 'libhugetlbfs-2.6-2.el6', included in compose 'RHEL6.0-20091029.0'.
Moving to ON_QA.

These are also expected failures, they are testing the old relinking method.  These tests should only be used to determine is the old method works with a particular compiler/binutils combination.  As long as the new linker method worked (and it looks like it did) these errors can be ignored.

Comment 8 IBM Bug Proxy 2010-05-06 15:54:08 UTC

------- Comment From ebmunson.com 2010-05-06 11:46 EDT-------
Verified with RHEL 6 Snap 1.  There is a small problem with the test suite that does not affect the library or any of the utilities.  I will open a separate bu with a patch to fix the issue but this should not stand in the way of the package update.

Comment 9 Radek Bíba 2010-05-27 08:48:04 UTC

Thank you for the verification.
