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.

Nothing obsoletes the package either.
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2022-05-30 12:58:34 UTC 
It seems like we unintentionally shipped the libguestfs-benchmarking
subpackage in at least RHEL 8.5 AV:

https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=1582522

Upstream it was moved out of libguestfs into a new source package.
At the same time (RHEL 8.6) we dropped the subpackage.

I definitely do not want to start shipping this package in RHEL, so
I guess we'll have to add something like:

Obsoletes: libguestfs-benchmarking < [some epoch:version]
Comment 2 Klaus Heinrich Kiwi 2022-05-31 14:33:13 UTC 
Yash, fyi.

I'm suspecting that the path forward here is really to uninstall libguestfs-benchmarking, make a clarification that it was added as a mistake, and it is not supported.

Thoughts?
Comment 3 jcastran 2022-05-31 14:42:56 UTC 
it would be best if we could obsolete it. Otherwise its just more cases or kcs that customers have to find to define the issue and the resolution, then questions on why would we remove the package and so on. 

Obsoleting it means people that try to install it will be stopped and people that have it can update without issue,
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2022-06-07 09:45:03 UTC 
Adding Obsoletes should remove the package automatically without needing to
document anything.

I don't think we should add Provides, because future libguestfs will not
provide the benchmarking binaries.
