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 mingzhan 2015-12-15 10:01:57 UTC
Description of Request:
Request to package WALA 2.0.14 into REHL 6 Repo

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/releases/tag/WALinuxAgent-2.0.14

Impact:
2.0.14 has the hot fix for below critical bug:
Provision failure (higher rate in large size VM). 

If no 2.0.14, customer will have opportunity to hit this issue.

Comment 2 Dave Anderson 2015-12-15 15:01:17 UTC
Please clarify this bugzilla.  There appear to be two separate requests:

 (1) A request to move this package from RHEL6-Extras into RHEL6.8
 (2) A request to rebase the package source code version from 2.0.13 to 2.0.14

I that correct?

Comment 3 Dave Anderson 2015-12-15 17:12:42 UTC
The walinuxagent.spec file that is part of the github 2.0.14 release is
unsuitable because it is missing several items that are part of the 
current RHEL6 WALinuxAgent.spec file, which was originally derived
from a 2.0.13-based Fedora package. 

I see that there is this Fedora package:

  Information for build WALinuxAgent-2.0.14-1.el6
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=666562

Please review the package above, and confirm that it is what you would
expect for a RHEL6 rebase.

Comment 4 Dave Anderson 2015-12-15 19:51:39 UTC
> Please review the package above, and confirm that it is what you would
> expect for a RHEL6 rebase.

In addition, the Fedora package referenced above would require these changes:

(1) This line needs to be commented out from the WALinuxAgent.spec file:

    Requires:       ntfsprogs

(2) Presumably the patch from here would need to be applied:

    BZ #1291298 - [Feature Request]WALA- RHUI support for RHEL On-Demand Image in Azure
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1291298

Comment 5 Dave Anderson 2015-12-18 16:29:14 UTC
Please respond to comments #2, #3 and #4.

Dave
It's a request to do below:
A request to rebase the package source code version from 2.0.13 to 2.0.14

and I don't know what's the RHEL6-Extras, but we will suggest to use 2.0.14 for current  RHEL 6.x version including 6.8 before we release the new version.

Please ignore the item (2) in this request, I submitted the new feature in bug 1291303 with targeting a new WALA release, not for 2.0.14.

Yue
Can you please confirm the item (1)?

I understand that, but when a rebase is done, typically patches to
the superseded version would be discarded, because they normally would
be included in the rebased version.

So, please clarify whether the patch in BZ #1291298 should be carried
forward into this 2.0.14 rebase.

There is no ntfsprogs in the RHEL7 distribution so it was explicitly
commented out in the RHEL7 package.

And when I tried to build the 2.0.14 package in a new RHEL6 environment,
the build failed, due to the fact that there was no ntfsprogs package 
available.  I'm not sure why that happened, but maybe the package has
been removed from RHEL6?   

But anyway, since the package is unnecessary in RHEL7, it would be preferable
(and perhaps mandatory) to do the same thing in RHEL6.

Dave
We will suggest to use the same systemd requirements from Fedora package for WALA 2.0.14 in RHEL.
