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 marcindulak 2011-02-09 14:29:32 UTC 
Description of problem:

Before CentOS (and other similar) distibutions can be released
a tedius process of removing traces of RedHat (icons,
email references, etc) is required.

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


How reproducible:

Check http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/6/AuditStatus for details


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check http://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/6/AuditStatus
  
Actual results:

Many packages contain hard codes traces of RedHat.


Expected results:

One can imagine RedHat to facilitate releases of the mentioned distributions
by introducing an RPM package that contains all references to RedHat, icons, etc. Then all packages in need would make use of this one RPM package.
Releasing CentOS would be much faster because changes would be necessary
only for this one RPM package.
