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 Carl George 2018-11-29 21:18:11 UTC
Description of problem:
The python36 spec file contains the following:

    Source:     https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.3/Python-3.6.3.tar.xz

First I noticed that this conflicted with the version of the package (3.6.6), but after looking closer I realized that this tarball isn't used at all since this package primarily configures alternatives symlinks.  It doesn't hurt anything, it's just pointless and makes the SRPM larger for no reason.  Please remove it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python36-3.6.6-17.el8+2102+a4bbd900

Comment 1 Tomas Orsava 2018-12-04 00:49:03 UTC
The package was using only the README and LICENSE files from the source, so we can separate those.

Comment 2 Tomas Orsava 2018-12-04 00:51:19 UTC
Could I ask for a qa_ack, Honza? It's a minor change.
