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:
With traditional SunRPC removed from glibc in Fedora 28 and beyond, it may be helpful for some users to be able to standardize on libtirpc-usage across multiple ecosystem releases. This library is present in RHEL7 but does not appear to be available in the UBI7 package set. Adding this in would help increase UBI's usability.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libtirpc-0.2.4-0.16.el7


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a ubi7 container: yum install libtirpc

Japeth,

Thank you for reaching out with this request. We appreciate your interest in Red Hat Universal Base Image. Today, UBI is really targeted towards cloud native, application developers working with languages like Java, Node.js, Golang, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, and PHP [1]. Currently, this request does not fall within the currently approved use cases for inclusion in UBI. The scope of UBI will likely grow and we will keep this use case in mind.

Hi,

In light of today's CentOS announcement, and specifically https://centos.org/distro-faq/#q11-my-ci-provider-uses-containers-i-currently-use-centos-linux-images-to-test-for-rhel-compatibility-i-cannot-use-ubi-because-it-does-not-include-the-packages-i-need-what-will-be-my-options-in-the-future , would it be possible for this RFE to be revisited for possible libtirpc inclusion? This is a pretty low level library and it would aid with transitions to UBI for some cases.
