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.

I think you meant to write nss. That would be all nss-related packages which are nss, nss-softokn, nss-util, and nspr.  I see that it's added for nss and nss-util. I now have to add it for nss-softokn and nspr.
Comment 2 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2011-07-21 18:34:01 UTC 
Steve, (or someone with the required access) Could you add to Component(s) nss, nspr, and nss-softokn? Thanks.
Comment 3 Steve Grubb 2011-07-21 18:39:35 UTC 
Yes, I made a copy and paste error. I opened 4 bugs, one on each component. I will also make a test script available that checks the whole rpm.
Comment 6 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2011-09-08 16:32:09 UTC 
[emaldona@emaldonadesktop RHEL-6]$ make unused-patches
add-relro-linker-option.patch <--- this one is the one intended for this
nss-671266.patch  <- this one is obsolete
So the patch wasn't never applied in the spec file version I checked in and used for this build. I need to respin.
Comment 8 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2011-09-19 16:03:14 UTC 
Changing status to assigned as the patch though checked wasn't never appplied in the spec file. New build coming soon.
