Description Gonzalo Muelas Serrano 2010-12-03 10:16:02 EST

Description of problem:
In previous releases, without this Bug 632709 - [6.1 FEAT] makedumpfile port to zLinux, kexec-tools was not provided with RHEL on System z because System z had no use of it.

Now that we will have a port/support of makedumpfile on RHEL 6.1 on System z,
we would like of course to have the kexec-tools package automaticaly built and included for RHEL 6.1 on System z.

Per Red Hat request (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632709#c25) I am opening this bug just to track that kexec-tools is built and included in RHEL 6.1 on System z.

Thank you for your support!

IBM is signed up to test and provide feedback, setting OtherQA.

Comment 3 Dennis Gregorovic 2010-12-06 16:04:10 EST

I'll make sure the package gets pulled into the s390x tree.

Comment 4 John Jarvis 2010-12-22 11:21:36 EST

This enhancement request was evaluated by the full Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
team for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release.   As a 
result of this evaluation, Red Hat has tentatively approved inclusion of 
this feature in the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update minor release.   
While it is a goal to include this enhancement in the next minor release 
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the enhancement is not yet committed for 
inclusion in the next minor release pending the next phase of actual 
code integration and successful Red Hat and partner testing.

Comment 5 Dennis Gregorovic 2011-01-04 17:01:58 EST

kexec-tools is already in the base group, so the s390x rpms should get pulled in automatically once the new build is pulled into the compose.
