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.
I recently enabled testsuite for autoconf213 (which is still needed to rebuild
firefox and some related projects) in Fedora Rawhide. This bug is mentioned
to ask QA whether they think that it does make sense to enable the testsuite
also in RHEL7 or not for this legacy tool (this action requires respin); and
to track the enablement if yes. Note that the package shouldn't be used by
our customers.
I know that there are concerns to enable upstream testsuites if possible, I'm
just not sure if we should do it really everywhere.
This bug may be closed by QA as WONTFIX, if there is no need to do so.
From my point it's definitely useful to have the testsuite enabled by default: This way eventual issues will appear right at the build time. Creating an erratum just because of this doesn't seem reasonable to me, but please do so once some erratum for this component comes. Thanks.
