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 Justin Vreeland 2022-04-15 15:52:01 UTC 
Description of problem:

libnl3 version 3.6.0 was release recently https://github.com/thom311/libnl/releases/tag/libnl3_6_0

This is the first release in a while and contains some fixes that'd I'd appreciate seeing in CentOS 9 Stream, I'm curious if libnl3 could be updated.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current libnl3 version is: 3.5.0.

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install libnl3

Actual results:
libnl3 version 3.5.0 is installed

Expected results:
This is what I'd expect but I'd like to see version 3.6.0

Additional info:
Comment 1 Thomas Haller 2022-04-15 16:11:01 UTC 
yes, we should do this! It would then be for rhel-9.1 and centos-stream-9.
Comment 2 Justin Vreeland 2022-04-15 16:26:19 UTC 
Awesome thank you!  If you don't mind another questions, is it likely to be rebased on CentOS Stream 8 as well and/or should I open a separate ticket for that?
Comment 3 Thomas Haller 2022-04-15 17:36:22 UTC 
Possible. I need to discuss that first.

In principle, the stronger the request, the more likely it happens :)

Could you shortly explain why that is important to you?
Comment 4 Justin Vreeland 2022-04-15 18:00:12 UTC 
There are a few patches primarily this one:

https://github.com/thom311/libnl/commit/bab9e77c87d3b596e77d669b0a827b50e725bb62

That are important to our infrastructure and that we've been back porting for CentOS. I'd like to keep our drift from what's upstream small so this seems like an opportunity. If not released in CentOS Stream 8 I'll probably release it in the Hyperscale SIG for 8. But I did want to see it get into CentOS 9.

I'm not sure why no one submitted a ticket to have just that patch back ported into CentOS earlier but it came to my attention again when I saw the new release.
Comment 7 Thomas Haller 2022-05-11 10:40:06 UTC 
upstream release 3.6.0 has some issues. We will soon do a 3.7.0 which we put into rhel-9.1 and rhel-8.7.

The only reason to wait with this a bit more, is to give upstream more time to find additional problems with 3.6.0.

Having said that, libnl-3.6.0 which is currently in rhel-9.1 should be mostly fine.

Back to ASSIGNED.
