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 David Shea 2013-06-18 20:23:29 UTC
Description of problem:

hal is not in RHEL7, since its functionality has been superseded in newer versions of udev, and now systemd. However, no package metadata Obsoletes the hal packages, leaving hal and hal-libs on the system after an upgrade from RHEL 6.4 to RHEL 7.0.

Adding an Obsoletes for hal to the systemd metadata would provide a means for hal to be automatically removed. Obsoleting hal-libs would be nice, too, but less necessary since the libraries at least don't try to start any services.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-204-4.el7.x86_64

Comment 2 Paul W. Frields 2013-09-17 19:21:52 UTC
Hi systemd team, can one of you make the required change in the rhel-7.0 branch to systemd.spec?  Thanks.

Also, unfortunately since the dist-git policy for RHEL 7.0 now requires 'rhel-7.0.0+' (3-ACK'd bug), you'll need to add devel_ack+ and get a qa_ack+ to push the change referencing this bug.
