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 Martin Wilck 2010-07-20 12:22:16 UTC 
Created attachment 433145 [details]
changes made to the ddiskit templates

Description of problem:
The latest ddiskit we got (ddiskit-rhel6_sym53c8xx_beta2plus, Jul. 7 2010) contains a tmpl.spec that doesn't work out of the box for RHEL6


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ddiskit-rhel6_sym53c8xx_beta2plus

How reproducible:
I took the tmpl.spec and tried to adapt it to the sym53c8xx driver in the ddiskit package, just to see what the differences of the generated kmods are

  
Actual results:
I needed to make a few changes in the template outside the explicitly user-modifiable sections. There was one change in kmodtool, too.

Expected results:
Only name/version/release need to be changed


Additional info:
As I already wrote by email - if we can stick with the old spec file template, this is not a major problem.
Comment 1 Martin Wilck 2010-07-20 12:25:37 UTC 
The biggest change is that the xen variants are dropped for RHEL6.
The other important change is related to the different paths under /lib/modules which now include the architecture.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-20 12:57:53 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 4 Jon Masters 2010-07-21 17:06:54 UTC 
I'm sorry for the confusion. You should not need to ship your own kmodtool at this point, and the tmpl directory is stale. The example is for the particular SCSI driver, which uses the stock RHEL6 kmodtool script without modification. Can you check the example, and ignore the "tmpl" directory for now since I will make another updated ddiskit that has a fixed template directory.

Jno.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-21 17:14:39 UTC 
Development Management has reviewed and declined this request.  You may appeal
this decision by reopening this request.
Comment 9 Jon Masters 2010-07-21 17:24:01 UTC 
Martin - apologies that our automated system closed this bug down because it is not an "approved" item for RHEL6 (since there is no change required in RHEL6). This was not my intention, but it did it anyway, and I am happy to re-open it if my previous response was not clear. What do you think?
