Description Tryggvi Farestveit 2011-07-04 15:09:46 UTC
Description of problem:
The package perl-Net-Telnet is part of HA channel. This a generic package needed for non HA stuff. I think it should not be part of the HA channel but the base or optional channel.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-06 01:38:09 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Comment 7 Tomas Edwardsson 2011-07-06 10:45:22 UTC
Can you please elaborate on what this means? Will it be included in the 6.2 release or how are you planning to procede?

Comment 8 Perry Myers 2011-07-06 12:45:21 UTC
perl-Net-Telnet at the present time and for the next minor release of RHEL 6 (RHEL 6.2) will only be included as part of the RHEL High Availability Add On and RHEL Resilient Storage Add Ons. There are no plans at present to move this package into the RHEL 6 base product repositories.  

The only package in RHEL that requires perl-Net-Telnet is fence-agents, and since fence-agents is only present in the HA and RS Add Ons, that is the reason why perl-Net-Telnet is only in these Add Ons repositories.

Comment 9 Tryggvi Farestveit 2011-07-06 12:58:06 UTC
What about your customers that need perl-Net-Telnet and not HA? You are forcing them to purchase the HA addon just for perl-Net-Telnet.

Comment 16 Jeremy West 2011-08-08 12:52:06 UTC
Marking this as a dup of BZ 715541, with the intent of requesting that this package be moved into the the "optional" channel and out of the HA channel.
