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 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2010-04-23 17:38:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

bzr in the RHEL6 beta is bzr-2.0.x.  There's a few reasons to update that to bzr-2.1.x before RHEL6 final comes out:

* Ubuntu Lucid (the Canonical long term release) is going to ship with bzr-2.1.x.  This is not a guarantee that the 2.1.x line will be supported for the life of that Ubuntu LTS release but it does increase the value of upstream maintaining 2.1.x as a supported platform.
* Important bzr plugins and tools using the bzr API have been ported to bzr-2.1.x now, not all have an active bzr-2.0.x branch.
* Fedora EPEL-5 has bzr-2.1.x (for the above reasons).  So customers migrating from RHEL-5 with EPEL to RHEL-6 will need to manually uninstall the bzr from EPEL-5 and then reinstall the bzr from RHEL-6 if they upgrade an existing host.

Thank you,
The EPEL-5 bzr maintainer
Comment 1 Toshio Ernie Kuratomi 2010-04-23 17:42:16 UTC 
I was corrected on my assumption that RHEL supports upgrades between major versions rather than having to do a reinstall.  So the note about EPEL-5 vs RHEL-6 isn't so important.  IMHO, it still looks bad that a customer will have bzr-2.1.x when using RHEL-5 and have to downgrade to bzr-2.0 when switching to RHEL-6 but they won't have the manual update step to worry about.

The first two points still stand.

I'm setting Rebase keyword for this bugzilla. Since this is a rebase request, it has to be approved first. If you have a RHEL subscription, please file a support ticket for this issue, so it can be prioritized.
Comment 5 Josh 2010-04-26 14:55:29 UTC 
I would like to see this deployed as bzr-2.1 in RHEL6 since bzr is not part of RHEL5.

What version of RHEL should the support ticket be filed against?  bzr is not a part of RHEL5 and RHEL6 is not a version option.

Thanks in advance,
