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:

RHEL System Roles need the json_query Ansible plugin, but Ansible for RHEL 8 will not ship the python-jmespath dependency, so the plugin will be broken (see also bz1484910 for the original addition of python-jmespath). We need to depend on the python-jmespath package to enforce it being present (currently it is in buildroot).

At the same time we may consider rebasing it to the latest release (0.9.3, see bz1588131) and add Supplements: or Enhances: ansible to it.

Asking for exception, as the lack of python-jmespath will break some functionality of system-roles and this will have to be solved in this or another way.

IMHO Supplements: ansible would be better than Enhances since it is stronger and Enhances might just be ignored.

I was also thinking about this yesterday. Is it allowed to Supplement: something not present in the distribution? (Also, we could just convince the Ansible package maintainers to Require python-jmespath.)
