Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.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

minicom-2.3-baud-dev-cmdline.patch needs to be added to the src.rpm

Description of problem:

minicom-2.4 has two useful command line options:

"  -b, --baudrate         : set baudrate (ignore the value from config)\n"
"  -D, --device           : set device name (ignore the value from config)\n"

I propose to backport them from minicom-2.4 to minicom-2.3-6.1 package available in Enterprise Linux 6.

Attached patches do this task.

minicom-2.3-baud-dev-cmdline.patch needs to be added to the src.rpm

minicom.spec needs to be modified as shown in minicom.spec.diff

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

minicom-2.3-6.1

Hello Evgueni.
Thanks for the patch. It matches the upstream commit and is applicable.

Comment 6 Martin Sehnoutka 2016-07-14 11:55:59 UTC
Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6 is entering the Production 2 phase of its lifetime and this bug doesn't meet the criteria for it, i.e. only high severity issues will be fixed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/ for further information.

This issue is fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7.
