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:
qcow2 images built by osbuild-composer are currently in 0.10 compat format. As we want to be able to use this image on RHEL 7+ (not RHEL 6), it's fine to switch to a newer 1.1 compat format.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
osbuild-composer-33.2-1.el9_b.x86_64

Actual results:
$ qemu-img info rhel-guest-image.qcow2 
image: rhel-guest-image.qcow2
file format: qcow2

Hello Wei, we agreed in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/COMPOSER-1149 that this needs to be fixed in 9.0 Beta, can you please give us a qa_ack?

Both Jakub and I tested the new build and the bug is fixed, I'm setting to preverified:

$ qemu-img info ced2b167-ee43-49ff-9fe2-a3537b9334b9-disk.qcow2
