How to get a backport from upstream?
Hi,
I would like to know how to get a backport from upstream for a certain package. What do I have to do and where do I have to report such a request?
Example:
I am using ansible-2.4.0.0 from rhel-7-server-extras-rpms. This version contains some bugs which were fixed upstream in PR 32671.
Is this bufix going to be backported to the ansible package from the RHEL channel, too? If so, how long does it usually take to get these fixes? Or do I have to request the backport via support or bugzilla?
Kind regards,
Joerg
PS: I know that I could use the upstream version or run ansible from the github repository. But per policy I have to use packages from the repo channels, because only for these I could get support from Red Hat.
