* Josh Boyer:
As part of our continued 3 year major Red Hat Enterprise Linux
release
cadence, RHEL 9 development is starting to wrap up with the spring
2022 release coming soon. That means planning for the next release
will start in earnest in the very near future. As some of you may
know, Red Hat has been using both Bugzilla and Jira via
issues.redhat.com for RHEL development for several years. Our
intention is to move to using
issues.redhat.com only for the major
RHEL releases after RHEL 9.
Thanks for posting this publicly.
- Fedora Linux and EPEL have their own Bugzilla product families and
are not directly impacted in their own workflows by the choice to use
only
issues.redhat.com for RHEL.
- There will be impacts on existing documentation that provide
guidance on requesting things from RHEL in various places like EPEL.
We will be happy to help adjust these.
There is already an “FC” project on
issues.redhat.com, into which Fedora
bugs can be mirrored from
bugzilla.redhat.com. Should we expose the
mirror+ Bugzilla flag publicly, and make the FC project public, so that
people can experiment with that?
If there are other impacts that you can think of, please raise them
on
this thread. We’d like to ensure we’re covering as much as possible
as this rolls out.
What is going to happen to the CentOS Mantis instance
<
https://bugs.centos.org/>? From the looks of it, it probably should
just be switched off?
Thanks,
Florian
