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.

Red Hat Enterprise Atomic Host reaches end of life 8/6/20. This retirement notice needs to go out by 11/14/19. 

This is the first retirement notification. 

I also need the package owner to create the errata and publish it by 11/14/19.

For which package? I'm guessing `redhat-release-atomic-host`?

Any updates on the advisory please?

Comment 4 Ben Breard 2019-11-07 20:31:28 UTC
The notification is for RHEL Atomic Host. If we need to attach it to a specific RPM, then I think the redhat-release-atomic-host makes sense. To be clear though this covers the compose and RHEL variant. Thanks

Comment 9 fvarela 2019-11-13 13:34:07 UTC
I created this BZ to request a text advisory which I have provided. Please clarify why something is prepared to go out for a release that doesn't exist. Atomic Host retires August 6, 2020.

THanks,

Frank

Comment 14 Micah Abbott 2019-11-19 20:32:33 UTC
When RHEL Atomic Host is constructed, the documentation in each package is stripped out.  As a result, the RETIREMENT_NOTICE.txt that lives in /usr/share/doc was removed when the latest Atomic Host compose was made.

```
$ rpm -q redhat-release-atomic-host
redhat-release-atomic-host-7.7-20190611.0.atomic.el7.1.x86_64

$ rpm -ql redhat-release-atomic-host | grep RETIREMENT
/usr/share/doc/redhat-release-atomic-host-7.7/RETIREMENT-NOTICE.txt

$ cat /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-atomic-host-7.7/RETIREMENT-NOTICE.txt
cat: /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-atomic-host-7.7/RETIREMENT-NOTICE.txt: No such file or directory
```

If we want to deliver this file as part of RHEL Atomic Host, we will need to explicitly write the file to the host as part of the `postprocess-script` or something similar.

Comment 17 Micah Abbott 2019-11-20 15:29:39 UTC
Based on discussions that have happened outside of this ticket, the missing RETIREMENT_NOTICE.txt is acceptable for Atomic Host.

There will be a separate text-only errata that will be created for the purposes of informing customers of the EOL date.

Moving to VERIFIED.
