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.

Description Bill Muller 2015-11-16 18:53:19 UTC 
Description of problem:

Several links to Bugzilla entries in Appendix B point to restricted pages.



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

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 V2V Guide dated July 2015.



How reproducible:

Click on bugzilla links in appendix B.



Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the document, https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/V2V_Guide/index.html

2. Jump to Appendix B. Revision History

3. Select bugzilla link, for example BZ#1066257, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1066257



Actual results:

A bugzilla access denied page is displayed stating:

You are not authorized to access bug #1066257.

Most likely the bug has been restricted for internal development processes and we cannot grant access.

If you are a Red Hat customer with an active subscription, please visit the Red Hat Customer Portal for assistance with your issue

If you are a Fedora Project user and require assistance, please consider using one of the mailing lists we host for the Fedora Project.



Expected results:

The bugzilla entry should be displayed.



Additional info:



Document URL:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/V2V_Guide/index.html



Section Number and Name:

Appendix B. Revision History



Describe the issue: 

Links point to inaccessible pages.



Suggestions for improvement: 

If general users are not allowed access to the bugzilla entries referenced in this document, or any Red Hat document for that matter, they should be identified as private and no link provided.  In this one document alone I found twelve bugzilla links in appendix B which lead to an access denied message.

Hi Bill, a belated thank you for bring up this problem. 

We have actually been aware for some time that the Revision Histories in their current form are not helpful to the readers and also take up excessive space in the guides. Starting with the 6.8 release, therefore, the History is going to be condensed significantly, and will not contain any links.
 
Also note that due to the deprecation of the v2v utility on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the v2v guide content is only going to receive the most urgent updates (along with the disclaimer about the deprecation).

Does this kind of solution sound satisfactory, or did you have something else in mind? 

Thanks,
Jirka
Comment 3 Bill Muller 2016-02-19 18:15:16 UTC 
Jiri,

That solution is perfectly acceptable.


Bill

Moving this BZ to VERIFIED, and will close with the release of RHEL 6.8
