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 Steve Traylen 2010-05-11 16:31:57 UTC 
mysql-connector-java is new in Beta6 with version:

mysql-connector-java-5.1.8-2.el6.src.rpm

but EPEL5 contained

mysql-connector-java-5.1.12-2.el5.src.rpm

This could potentially make updating systems tricky.

Steve.
Comment 2 Tom Lane 2010-05-11 16:59:33 UTC 
We can't realistically promise that RHEL6 will be NVR-newer than any EPEL package, especially not when the EPEL maintainer feels free to rebase once a month.  If you want to make a case that we should rebase mysql-connector-java now, I'm happy to consider it, but the decision can *not* be driven by what the EPEL maintainer is doing.
Comment 3 Steve Traylen 2010-05-11 17:25:40 UTC 
In this case I am the EPEL maintainer, it's just incredibly new since it was
only added to EPEL very recently, there has only been one version ever in
EPEL.

The main reason is the nvr upgrade.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/cj-news-5-1.html

shows a lot bug fixes between 5.1.8 and 5.1.12.

Steve.
Comment 4 Tom Lane 2010-05-11 17:40:19 UTC 
Oh, pleased to meet you --- for some reason I thought Miloš Jakubíček was handling this package in EPEL as well as Fedora.

Yeah, there are kind of a lot of bug fixes listed there :-(.  We're getting pretty late in the RHEL6 cycle for upstream rebases, but I'll put this in the request queue and see what happens.
