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.

We want to backport this to RHEL 8.6 to reduce production container sizes by allowing glibc-docs to be uninstalled.
The savings are ~300KiB of installed docs.

Introduce new glibc-doc.noarch subpackage (#1346925)
The info pages of The GNU C Library Reference Manual included in the
devel subpackage, were (slightly) increasing the installed size of
systems that required the devel object files but not the manual.
In addition to this, a number of unnecessary files (READMEs, NEWS,
INSTALL, and an example gai.conf) were included in either the main
package or the common subpackage.
This commit introduces a new glibc-doc.noarch subpackage and moves the
info pages from the devel subpackage and the debugger interface
documentation from the main package into glibc-doc. It also removes all
the unnecessary documentation-like files mentioned above.
Notes on what has changed:
* New glibc-doc subpackage
* Updating from previous versions does not auto-install glibc-doc
* Files moved from existing packages to glibc-doc:
- glibc: rtld-debugger-interface.txt
- glibc-devel: libc.info*.gz (info pages)
* Files removed from existing packages:
- glibc: README, INSTALL, and NEWS
- glibc-common: gai.conf and README.timezone
