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 Neal Gompa 2021-08-09 19:44:07 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1989778 +++

Description of problem:
Nginx offers the ability to build external dynamic modules[1]; however, we don't have a way to do this in RHEL.

Please a -mod-devel package so that nginx modules can be built for nginx.

I've also filed this as a support case: https://access.redhat.com/support/cases/#/case/03007218
Comment 4 Joe Orton 2021-08-17 14:54:54 UTC 
Thanks Neal, looks really interesting and thanks for filing the MR and doing the Fedora work.  To be up front with you, we are tight on RHEL 9 Beta deadlines right now it's likely this is something we'll defer to future nginx update (or a module stream).

Yeah, I wanted to get this to you folks literally as fast as I could so that we could get this integrated in time, given that we're approaching freeze soon.

I've also started upstreaming the packaged nginx modules I have into Fedora (which I'd like to ship in EPEL for EPEL 9):

* nginx-mod-vts: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nginx-mod-vts
* nginx-mod-naxsi: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/nginx-mod-naxsi

As non-modular content is the only stuff we can use in EPEL, it'd be great to get it to land for the default stuff that's shipping as non-modular. And it'll help for me to switch to UBI 9 as soon as it launches.

Branislav, any chance my MR could be merged soon, especially now that the RHEL 8 version of the patch has been merged in for RHEL 8.6? It'd be great to get this in sooner rather than later...

@luhliari can you pls review and do the merge?

Neal, this is the correct link:

Comment 13 Neal Gompa 2021-09-24 14:15:28 UTC 
The package is apparently being filtered out by the compose process, so I've submitted an MR to ensure it gets shipped: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/comps/-/merge_requests/134
