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 Issue Tracker 2007-07-11 20:59:39 UTC 
Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker
Comment 1 Issue Tracker 2007-07-11 20:59:43 UTC 
Since mono did not make the cut for RHEL-5 it means that the RHEL-5 Client does not have a desktop search tool (beagle).

Meta Tracker has impressed me so far and I believe it has the potential to surpass beagle in many ways.  RHEL-5 needs desktop search functionality of some type and Tracker seems to be very close to ready.  It just needs email and im support to be solidified.

Comment 2 Daniel Riek 2007-07-11 21:42:30 UTC 
What is the problem being solved here and what is the business case?
Comment 3 Issue Tracker 2007-07-17 04:13:35 UTC 
The issue is that by removing mono support from RHEL 5 it leaves the RHEL 5
Client without the default GNOME desktop search engine beagle.  Desktop
search is a major feature missing currently and there needs to be a
solution for RHEL clients.  With the volume of email I currently receive
and the information I have on my desktop beagle is an essential part of my
work flow.  If I can't move my mail of my Fedora machine I can't expect
my clients to be happy either.

Tracker seems like the current front runner now but any of the other
projects that don't depend on mono would be acceptable as long as they
can index email and binary documents.

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
