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 Owen Taylor 2020-03-16 20:56:52 UTC

Testing of Flatpak-1.6 against the internal container registry, registry.redhat.io, and registry.redhat.com revealed some defects that it would be good to fix for 8.2.

 * flatpak cannot authenticate to the internal container registry, blocking testing of whether installing the Flatpaks we will ship in 8.2 from a registry works correctly:

 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/3460
 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/3461
 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/3471

 * downloading registry.redhat.io after prompting the user for username/password is twice as slow as it needs to be:

 https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/3472

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2020-03-16 21:03:10 UTC

Switched from blocker to exception, since harm is is fairly modest:
 - installing Flatpaks from container registries would be less responsive and possibly look buggy
 - pre-release testing would be harder.

Risks of these fixes should, however, also be small - they are small self-contained patches that only affect the installing-from-OCI registries code paths.
