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.

Comment 1 Josh Boyer 2021-06-21 11:13:08 UTC 
This is available in CentOS Stream koji here https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=8373 via the download link.  Is there a reason this must be in the Red Hat product to accomplish what you're trying to do?
Comment 2 Troy Dawson 2021-06-21 13:41:15 UTC 
regular EPEL is built off real RHEL.  Not CentOS, CentOS Stream, Oracle Linux, Alma, or Rocky.
If EPEL starts pulling from various koji's and/or builds from other releases, even if they are Red Hat sponsored, where does that stop?

In addition, if we pull from where you suggest, that means we have to setup a whole new infrastucture that keeps track of a various list of packages missing from RHEL, figures out where those missing packages are at on the CentOS koji, and then updates itself each time a package is updated.  That is possible, but judging from our current EPEL volunteer workloads, that will take about 2 years to implement.
Comment 3 Thomas Haller 2021-06-21 14:08:16 UTC 
mobile-broadband-provider-info-devel is also a build dependency for NetworkManager.
And so ist teamd-devel and libndp-devel (which also are not installable from RHEL8 nor EPEL8).

Not having these packages available on RHEL8 is highly inconvenient (in my opinion). But to my understanding, this is intentional (I don't know why).


This bug is assigned to the NetworkManager team, but it's unclear how we can fix this (RHEL-CRB?) (or whether we even should). Josh, do you know?
Comment 5 Thomas Haller 2021-06-21 20:01:34 UTC 
Josh, bug 1760408 (about libndp-devel and teamd-devel) and the associated RCM ticket ([1]) was NACK'ed.

[1] https://projects.engineering.redhat.com/browse/RCM-68105

That ticket ([1]) was already about adding mobile-broadband-provider-info-devel.


Did something now change and the old decision needs to be re-evaluated?



For the record, personally I am in favor of this rhbz and ticket [1]. I still would be happy if we could avoid the workaround of using a copr repository to get libndp/teamd/mobile-broadband-provider-info devel packages (https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nmstate/nm-build-deps/packages/).

Yes, something changed.  You can reopen that bug if you would like.
