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.

libguestfs support in KubeVirt currently works by generating a fixed
appliance ahead of time and bundling it into the container image that
contains libguestfs.
The appliance is generated using libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance:
https://github.com/kubevirt/libguestfs-appliance/blob/9c597f6c6ff49b5317680cda280b350fb92530f2/Dockerfile#L15
and overall everything works pretty much as intended.
In order to have libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance available, however,
we need to install the libguestfs-devel package, which in turn
requires enabling the CRB repository:
https://github.com/kubevirt/libguestfs-appliance/blob/9c597f6c6ff49b5317680cda280b350fb92530f2/Dockerfile#L7-L10
The fact that libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance is part of the
libguestfs-devel package as opposed to the runtime package was
surprising to me when I found out about it. Usually -devel packages
contain stuff that's needed when developing against a library, and
libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance doesn't seem to fit the bill.
It's not a big deal either way, but please consider whether it would
make sense to move libguestfs-make-fixed-appliance into the runtime
package.
Thanks!
