Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

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.

dhcp_release is currently used by openstack as indicated in bug 788485
These utils are generally useful to have I think anyway.

I've handled the Fedora side with:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=389b9104
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=dnsmasq.git;a=commit;h=edbef005

It would be great if these could be included in RHEL 6.3,
after which I can update the EPEL openstack package.
Note the patches above create a new subpackage, which
minimizes and simplifies dependencies, but will require
a reimport into package wrangler I think?

dnsmasq-2.48-6.el6 is built in rhel-6.3-candidate and includes
a new subpackage dnsmasq-utils similar to the one found in Fedora builds

Summary     : Utilities for manipulating DHCP server leases
Description :
Utilities that use the standard DHCP protocol to
query/remove a DHCP server's leases.
/usr/bin/dhcp_lease_time
/usr/bin/dhcp_release
/usr/share/man/man1/dhcp_lease_time.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/dhcp_release.1.gz


There should be no noticeable change in dnsmasq-2.48-6.el6
compared to dnsmasq-2.48-5.el6
