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 of problem:
update-pciids script uses the URL http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids, which is no longer valid. The pci.ids maintainer has removed the file from the sourceforge site and is using this URL http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids in the latest pciutils scripts.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.5.1
How reproducible:
consistently everytime
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run `update-pciids` as root
2.
3.
Actual results:
The command will timeout trying to find pci.ids file on sourceforge
Expected results:
The pci.ids is downloaded and updates the local pci.ids file
Additional info:
Not reproducible for me. Are you sure?
$ wget -q http://pciids.sourceforge.net/pci.ids -O pci.sf.ids
$ wget -q http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/v2.2/pci.ids -O pci.ucw.ids
$ sha1sum pci.sf.ids pci.ucw.ids
cc8c0a0929a913aa39a5ac7c2f128e5dc244702d pci.sf.ids
cc8c0a0929a913aa39a5ac7c2f128e5dc244702d pci.ucw.ids
They both exist and have the same content
Jeff was talking about this in the weekly Intel meeting. I'll reach out to him for additional details. IIUC, Intel has been concerned with the sourceforge location for sometime and wants it changed to the new location listed above.
P.
From Jeff (in email):
My concern was that the pci.ids maintainer has updated the update-pciids script in pciutils git repo to use http://pci-ids.ucw.cz website, and he has it listed in the TODO document in the git repo to remove the sourceforge.net site. Even on the pci.ids.sourceforge.net site, he has it stating that the "official" site has moved and provides a link to the http://pci-ids.ucw.cz site.
When using the update-pciids utility that gets bundled with RHEL and Fedora, I had issues using the script to update the local pci.ids file, but once I edited the update-pciids script to the http://pci-ids.ucw.cz url, it worked just fine.
P.
ALL TESTS PASSED
Verified as passed, pci.ids url has been updated to http://pci-ids.ucw.cz for update-pciids script.
