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.

Latest upstream release: 5.1.2
Current version/release in Fedora Rawhide: 5.1.1-1.fc21
URL: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/
----

RHEL-7 delivers 5.1.1. This is request to rebase to 5.1.2.

The upstream changelog is:

whois (5.1.2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Always query whois.nic.$TLD for the "new" gTLDs, because the ICANN
    contract requires that it works.
  * Added the .aw and .zm TLD servers.
  * Updated the .mk, .tc and .vu TLD servers.
  * Added more ASN entries for Japan and Korea.
  * Fixed some invalid ASN and networks entries which would never be
    matched, reported by Henry Stern.
  * mkpasswd ported to Solaris/Dyson, patch courtesy of Igor Pashev.

In addition, the "no" translation has been renamed to "nb" to reflect the provided text is in Norwegian Bokmål.

The whois.nic.$TLD changes touches some code. Therefore the rebase is needed.

We do not ship the mkpasswd tool from this sources. The log entry is irrelevant.

A 5.1.3 release is there with other data updates and fixes:

whois (5.1.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Use the IANA recovered address space list.
  * Updated the list of new gTLDs.

  * Fix a disclaimer hiding string. (Closes: #748363)
