1686351 – [RFE] Make podman available in RHEL 7 Workstation repositories

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.

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2019-03-07 14:58:13 UTC

I am not sure how we go about doing this.

Comment 15 Scott McCarty 2019-05-21 17:36:12 UTC

Only UBI content will be supported with Podman on RHEL 7.7 Workstation. We will not support building or running RHEL Server based containers.

Comment 16 Bohdan Khomutskyi 2019-05-27 14:28:26 UTC

From Atomic Host meeting last time: there were missing packages in Workstation. Specifically -- libvirt-dbus and slirp4netns. I added these packages into a Beta-1.1 compose, http://download.eng.bos.redhat.com/rel-eng/rhel-7/EXTRAS-7/EXTRAS-7.7-RHEL-7-Beta-1.1/.

Comment 19 Derrick Ornelas 2019-08-06 19:10:59 UTC

Podman is now shipped as part of RHEL 7.7 Workstation Extras - https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2019:2389

Comment 20 Dan 2019-08-14 17:46:09 UTC

Podman is still not available from RHEL 7.7 Workstation Extras as it is missing a dependancy of a dependancy (python-pytoml for atomic-registries)-
