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 Michal Nowak 2010-06-18 12:59:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

Re table: This versions are outdated and, one should check with current RHEL6-Beta2 and fix it.

Re Java in table: Bit misleading to me. Generally we have java v. 1.4.2, 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 (both proprietary and OpenJDK) in RHEL5, so just "1.4.2" is not true.

Re list of core libraries: Some of them are deprecated (e.g. libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui) so we should check the list twice before we endorse those libs.

Re "Confirm that the RHEL3 compat is dropped?": We will ship even older compat packages for RHL 7 compatibility; see compat-gcc-* packages in Brew/trees.

Re 5.7.1: Just a note: we don't ship it.

so Java RHEL5 includes 1.4.2 and 1.5.0 RHEL6 includes 1.6.0? also, do both RHEL5 and RHEL6 include proprietary and OpenJDK, or just in RHEL6? 

> Re list of core libraries: Some of them are deprecated (e.g. libgnomeprint and

removed libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui from list

commented section removed in latest build.

You may look at

http://download.englab.brq.redhat.com/pub/rhel/nightly/latest-RHEL-6/6.0/Server/x86_64/os/Server/Packages/ and http://download.englab.brq.redhat.com/pub/rhel/nightly/latest-RHEL-6/6.0/Server/optional/x86_64/os/Packages/

however it's not authoritative. What I believe is authoritative is latest public (beta/RC) release. But the version number still may change before 6.0 GA -- you may want to strip the last number from version (e.g. gcc-4.4.4 -> gcc-4.4).

You may have a look to RHN or to Errata Tools (as I did) for RHEL 5 Java implementations. What I see: In RHEL5 we have both proprietary (IBM, Sun...) and free (OpenJDK, gcc-java) Java implementations.

* RHEL 5: 1.4.2 + 1.5.0 + 1.6.0 (from various parties, e.g. Sun, IBM... + OpenJDK)
* RHEL 6: 1.5.0 (IBM), 1.6.0 (IBM, OpenJDK) http://download.englab.brq.redhat.com/pub/rhel/rel-eng/RHEL6.0-Supplementary-20100610.0/6.0/Workstation/i386/os/Packages/

I guess I referred to some "newlib" quote which seems to me being removed.
