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.

Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2014:1472 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE elfutils bug fix and enhancement update 2014-10-14 01:10:42 UTC

Description Petr Machata 2011-11-21 21:32:36 UTC 
The version that we currently ship is elfutils-0.152.  The version 0.153 is not released yet, but the last release was in February, and new release is due, and should appear soon.

Updated release would bring support of reading of compressed sections, ability to work with new Dwarf attributes, and (partial) support of .debug_types.  In addition to that, it brings many bug fixes, and updates to keep abreast with development in tools.  It would also better support "dwarves" (bug 620319).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
elfutils-0.152
Comment 2 Mark Wielaard 2012-02-27 11:51:01 UTC 
elfutils 0.153 was finally released upstream:
https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/elfutils-devel/2012-February/002231.html

And already packaged for fedora:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/elfutils
Comment 5 Mark Wielaard 2012-06-25 10:16:43 UTC 
Now that 0.154 has been released a rebase to that version would be even better.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:10:56 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 23:07:31 UTC 
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.
Comment 8 Mark Wielaard 2012-08-28 21:40:23 UTC 
0.155 has been out now.

Comment 9 Mark Wielaard 2013-10-09 12:07:54 UTC 
Note that the latest upstream version now is 0.157

Comment 10 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 00:53:59 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 unable to address this
request at this time.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of
Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 11 Mark Wielaard 2014-01-07 22:47:30 UTC 
Latest upstream release is now 0.158:
