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 John Kacur 2022-07-15 17:28:26 UTC
Description of problem:

This option is a feature intended for rteval developers, to download a new source kernel which can be compiled by rteval as a load.

  -S KERNEL_VERSION, --source-download=KERNEL_VERSION
                        download a source kernel from kernel.org and exit

This feature is flexible on how the kernel is named, the following are all valid strings
linux-5.18.8.tar.xz
linux-5.18.8.tar.gz
linux-5.18.8
5.18.8

If the end is not specified, then xz is assumed.

The feature also works whether you run from git or from an installed rpm. (the location of the loadsource directory is different depending on where you run from.)

Finally, if the user specifies the default kernel and the default kernel exists, it refuses to overwrite it as that kernel is potentially owned by rteval-loads. (when running from the installed rpm)


Additional note:
The following should be added as a Requires: to the specfile
python3-requests

Comment 3 John Kacur 2022-08-19 17:39:29 UTC
Should also include enhancement for using --kcompile-source=TARBALL
that makes the way the user can specify the TARBALL more flexible
