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 of problem:

If BACKUP=RSYNC, the output files are copied by the backup-specific code to BACKUP_URL in addition to OUTPUT_URL, and if OUTPUT_URL is a rsync URL, it is effectively ignored (only BACKUP_URL is used).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.6

How reproducible:

mkrescue with appropriate settings

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set BACKUP=RSYNC OUTPUT_URL=user@host:/path/rsync/output OUTPUT_URL=user@host:/path/rsync/backup
2. run rear mkrescue

Actual results:

The output file rear-$(hostname -s).iso is not found under /path/rsync/output on host, it is under /path/rsync/backup

Expected results:

The output file rear-$(hostname -s).iso is found under /path/rsync/output on host and not /path/rsync/backup

Additional info:

This is a more comprehensive change than bz2115918 since it does not concern just OUTPUT=PXE. The use of rsync OUTPUT_URL for OUTPUT=PXE reported in bz2115918 was a special case and incompatible with other uses of rsync URLs (it was the old-style rsync URL).
