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.

Comment 1 Jan Blazek 2016-06-03 13:41:09 UTC 
Is ndctl a requirement for some other package? If so, it should get into compose automatically by dependency resolver.

If not, what RHEL variants and architctures should contain this package?
Comment 2 Jeff Moyer 2016-06-03 13:52:34 UTC 
This was a question that was asked in the Maitai process, so I'm confused about why it's being asked again.

Process issues aside, the answer is yes and no.  ndctl itself is a standalone utility that is used to manage nvdimm devices.  However, it also provides libraries that can be used by other utilities, such as intel's nvdimm management tools that have been proposed for RHEL 7.3 and fedora:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1270993
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1333933

Those other tools may not make it into 7.3, but I expect they will eventually make it into RHEL at some point.

OK, then what RHEL variants and architctures should contain this package?
Comment 4 Jeff Moyer 2016-06-03 14:01:00 UTC 
Great question!  :)

For now, x86_64 only is fine.  As for variants, we expect that NVDIMMs will only be installed in server hardware in the near term, so I guess we can limit this to Server.

Thanks!
