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.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1660923 +++

Ability to perform system rollbacks in Cockpit to provide the ability for customers to rollback changes or package updates after making system changes.

Probably this will involve using LVM snapshots and BOOM similar to the inplace upgrade tooling.

Further details and user stories can be found in Jira.


Feature request https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/RHELBU-38
User story https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/RHELSYSMGT-78

Adding two blocker bugs. We can work around bug 1663915 in Cockpit, but bug 1663864 is rather nasty and will break booting pretty hard in a lot of scenarios.

Details on https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/RHELBU-38

Unsetting the target release, as it turns out this needs to wait for the snapshot-manager API, it's too brittle/dangerous to offer it with just basic LVM tools. So maybe 7.8, or if that doesn't get new features any more, just 8.x.

Corresponding to https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/RHELBU-38, I close this for RHEL 7. It requires an entirely new API (snapshot-manager) to work reliably, and it's getting too late for RHEL 7.7. This will be a RHEL 8 feature.
