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.

Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-11 11:58:12 UTC
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.

Comment 9 Ondrej Moriš 2011-08-16 23:16:27 UTC
Kamil, could you propose some reproducer for this RFE? I am using strace to get acl of a link target, but there is no difference between old and new version. I am sure, that there is a more reliable way to trigger this new function call. Is it?

Comment 10 Kamil Dudka 2011-08-17 05:09:42 UTC
Ondrej, what are you stracing actually?  ls -l?  Then you need to use a new enough version of coreutils (as for RHEL-6, it means coreutils-8.4-14.el6 or newer).  Some hints for testing are also in Bodhi since we have already successfully tested the same change in the Fedora acl package:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/acl-2.2.49-9.fc14

Comment 11 Kamil Dudka 2011-08-17 05:18:40 UTC
Actually, the coreutils-8.4-14.el6 is not new enough as it was built against an old version of libacl.  We will need to rebuild coreutils against libacl-devel >= 2.2.49-6:

checking for acl_extended_file... yes
checking for acl_extended_file_nofollow... no

If you need to test the acl package now, please use coreutils from Fedora 16, rawhide, or upstream.
