Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
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.
Goal:
* Define tests, including gating tests, for po4a
Additional Information:
Some components have tests defined in RHEL8 but those tests are not present in RHEL9
The definition must include both gating and non-gating tests.
The suggested approach to resolving this BZ is:
1) check if this component is still present in RHEL9;
* [http://file.rdu.redhat.com/~asamalik/content-set/rhel8-vs-rhel9-components.html]
2) check if there are already any test case for this individual component on RHEL9;
3) If not, check if the test is present in RHEL8 and copy `gating.yaml` file and `tests directory` to RHEL9 repo;
* [https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/po4a]
4) If not present, create some tests (including gating) for this component.
Please work closely with QE (but keep in mind that they might be busy with the mass migration) or any other team that is maintaining those tests. The test definitions in `gating.yaml` describe test jobs that run in a CI environment. The test jobs and/or the testing environment may need to be modified to work in RHEL-9, or perhaps brand new test jobs may need to be created.

po4a is a gettext-like tool for long-form documentation. It's only
needed in order to compile libguestfs and a few other packages.
We certainly don't want to support it, but it should be in CRB.
No idea about gating tests, and I don't especially care. It'll be
"tested" when we use it to compile libguestfs.

Yongkui could you ack this one when you are back from holiday?
Easy fix, and QE just need to check that the gating test runs.
