* 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
