the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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.
Split off from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1994397 which had grown to include several other distinct issues
Some repositories, such as the RHEL 7 repositories, contain a large and growing # of changelogs, which is causing pulpcore workers to consume several GB of additional memory
The patch https://github.com/pulp/pulp_rpm/pull/2333 limits the # of changelog entries kept by Pulp to 10 by default. this achieves a lower memory footprint for the pulpcore workers when using such repositories, by limiting the # of changelog entries seen by clients using the `dnf changelog` command
Additional context in terms of communicating about this change with customers:
The full list of raw changelogs are always available if you have the RPM on hand. If it's installed on the system you can view them with "rpm -qa --changelogs $package".
All of this only applies to the separate copy of the changelogs kept repo-wide, which is queried when you use "dnf changelog $package" or "dnf repoquery --changelogs $package", and available for packages that aren't installed on your system.
It's rare to need more than a couple of changelogs for a package you don't have installed, which is why distros consolidated on keeping only 10 in the repo metadata.
