qpid-qmf is a refactored way of packaging the QMF components that were previsouly packaged in different rpms, namely python-qmf and qpid-cpp. This means there is no new source code, we're only reusing code that was already present in the source tarballs of those two packages.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an exception in the current release, please ask your support representative.
To clarify, there is no impact on any shipping product, as this is simply a renaming of content/packages that we were already shipping (and that had already taken place in RHEL 4 and RHEL 5).
OK. The qpid-qmf package will continue to be a part of the system-management-messaging-client comps group which is where python-qmf and qpid-cpp resided. Out of curiosity, what prompted the change?
Is this a duplicate of bug 679791?
Siddharth, RHEL 6.0 shipped with qmf packaging that diverged and conflicted with that of RHEL 4 and 5. The new combined qpid-qmf package puts control of those decisions in one place and resolves the conflict. In short, we had an unmaintainable mess; this new plan is sustainable. Crucially, it also allows us to rev qmf packages without having to rebuild messaging.
Dennis, I don't think it's a duplicate, though I'm open to a different interpretation. This issue was created in accordance with the rhel 6 new package process.
package will be in the next compose
Dennis: import into PackageWrangler has failed with "Package 'qpid-qmf' is not whitelisted for product 'RHEL-6.1'" (see https://pkgdb.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/pkg/tasks/wait/9425/ )
Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: The qpid-qmf package is now the top-level package for various QMF components which were previously packaged in their own RPM packages (specifically, the python-qmf and qpid-cpp packages).
