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 Tomas Orsava 2022-02-07 11:10:50 UTC 
1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Add marshalparser to RHEL 9


2. What is the nature and description of the request?
- The marshalparser package is currently available in the Fedora stable repository
- We would like to add marshalparser into the RHEL 9 CRB repo, preferably in RHEL 9.1


4. Why do we need this? (List the business requirements here)

marshalparser is used to deterministically bytecompile Python *.pyc files from Python .py source files, so that the bytecompiled files are assured to be identical on different architectures. This allows multilib (64bit and 32 bit) versions of Python packages to be installed in parallel.
Most Python projects don't have problem with this, but a few special ones run into the non-deterministic behaviour. In RHEL 9 it will be used by pygobject3 (BZ#1915764) and possibly clang ( https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/clang/-/blob/c9s/clang.spec#L157 ).


5. How would we like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

We would like to add marshalparser into the CRB as it's a build-time-only dependency.


6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how we can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.

- Red Hat confirms availability of marshalparser package in the RHEL 9 CRB repository.
# # enable CRB
# dnf install marshalparser


7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?

- marshalparser has already been packaged in Fedora since F33: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/marshalparser


8. Timeline and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?

- RHEL 9.1


10. List any affected packages or components.

- marshalparser (new package)
- python3-gobject-base (BZ#1915764)
