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 Miroslav Rezanina 2019-10-02 11:43:20 UTC 
During rebase to 11.0.0, removal of the vmware-guestproxycerttool was revealed (commit 49eb56393). We are using this tool in our scripts and package it in rpm. 

I do not know reason for this and not sure how to handle this change.
Comment 1 Ravindra Kumar 2019-10-02 13:35:09 UTC 
This tool and whatever it does is no longer required. The tool and its usage can be safely removed.

I will be updating Fedora packages soon and that would make it further clear.
Comment 2 Ravindra Kumar 2019-10-03 03:25:20 UTC 
FYI, here are the 2 rebase changes for Fedora:

Sorry, I missed one cleanup change needed for upgrade case - https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/open-vm-tools/c/0635f2f8cd72cfd0459209ed0714fefcbb549e31?branch=master.
Comment 5 Miroslav Rezanina 2019-10-14 17:21:55 UTC 
Version 11.0.0 do not use this tool so we build packages without it.
Comment 8 ldu 2019-12-16 02:32:47 UTC
