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.

I would like to rebase sos package in RHEL7.6 to upstream 3.6 version planned to be released in June this year. Reasons:

- few features (improved memory requirements of a sos run, concurrent execution of plugins) would be welcomed in 7.6 altogether, while they can interfere each other / other improvements we want in 7.6. So it is much easier to pack a stable upstream version than try to apply patches to downstream

- there will be smaller "testing distance" between upstream and RHEL

- rebasing will simplify downstream work, esp. later on when working on z-stream patches


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-3.5-*


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpm -q sos


Actual results:
sos-3.5-*


Expected results:
sos-3.6-*


Additional info:

Steve,
could you please pm_ack+ this rebase?

sosreport is crucial package / tool for CEE and it is important to get the new fixes and plug-ins and improvements from upstream to downstream, to simplify supportability of our products and make the work of CEE support engineers more effective. To follow that, a rebase will adopt the new changes the easiest way with a minimum risk of a regression.

Thanks in advance for consideration (and the ACK :) ).

(there is an omission in:

# sosreport

sosreport (version 3.5)

..

that is present in 3.6-1 while I git-pushed fix for it now; this will appear in 3.6-2 during Monday)
