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:
As original upstream, Victor Abell, retired, the original upstream source [1] became defunct.
New upstream [2] was founded and the initial release was made with a package newer than the original (which is now unavailable for download).

First, it is needed to update the source link in .spec, then the next release of RHEL's lsof need to be rebased on top of an available tarball (lsof-4.93.2).
Now we cannot provide link to source tarball of lsof included in RHEL8 and also fixing of future bugs will be unnecessarily difficult with the older package.

All needed changes has been present in Fedora since early summer 2019.

Actual results:
Tarball present in RHEL8 is unavailable.
Package sources behind current available version in new upstream.

Expected results:
RHEL8's lsof is aligned with new upstream and up to date.
