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:
cadaver ( http://www.webdav.org/cadaver/ ) which was included in previous RHEL distributions is not included in the 6.0 beta.

We would like to see cadaver and davfs2 ( http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/davfs2 ) included in future releases if at all possible.


How reproducible:
(on the dvd) ls Packages/ | grep -i cadaver
(on the dvd) ls Packages/ | grep -i davfs2


Additional info:
The main dependency of davfs2 (neon) is already included in RHEL 6.0 beta.  If you would be so kind as to include it in the next release we would be happy to test it for you.  (davfs2 allows a webDAV folder to be mounted like one would mount an NFS file system.)

If neither of these are possible, could we know the reasoning behind the removal of cadaver from the distribution?

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

After careful consideration, we have made the decision to not approve this request for including cadaver in RHEL 6.0. In general, these decisions are based on insufficient business justification and lack of relevance to the larger RHEL platform community.

Product Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal this
decision by reopening this request.
