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.

Section Number and Name: 
3.4. Removed Packages

Describe the issue: 

sendmail and sendmail-cf is listed, but they are not removed from RHEL7. 

They are in RHEL7 packages, and are core packages in Package Manifest.  
This conflicts with Migration Planning Guide's removed packages list. 
Please check sendmail's support status and fix.

Please could you bump the severity for this, it's vital the migration guide doesn't misrepresent this.

Comment 2 Lenka Špačková 2016-10-20 15:31:23 UTC
Hello, 
Thanks a lot for reporting this issue.

I have verified that the sendmail and sendmail-cf have not been removed from RHEL 7 (check against the Package Manifest being prepared for 7.3 and against the latest RHEL 7 compose). 

I have prepared an update of the Migration Planning Guide with this fix. The book will be published together with other updated guides at RHEL 7.3 GA.
