RHEL moving to issues.redhat.com only long term

2022-03-07 Thread Josh Boyer
Hi Fedora, CentOS, and EPEL Communities!

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.

What does this mean for Fedora and CentOS?  This discussion is in part
to figure that out.  Based on some very brief analysis, the following
should hold:

- RHEL customers should continue to file support cases through the Red
Hat Customer portal, which will remain consistent regardless of the
backend tooling used.

- There is no imminent retirement of the Red Hat Bugzilla instance
being planned at this time.  RHEL 7, 8, and 9 will continue to use
bugzilla in some form and RHEL 9 has a very long lifecycle.

- 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.

- CentOS Stream contribution and bug reporting workflows will be
adjusted to use issues.redhat.com instead of bugzilla in the relevant
places.  This should apply to all versions of CentOS Stream for a
unified contributor workflow.  This will happen gradually as we
discover the best workflow to use.

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.

I think it's unfortunate to replace the FOSS Bugzilla with proprietary 
software.  I am eternally conflicted about this with respect to GitHub (xref 
https://blog.verbum.org/2020/12/03/still-on-github/ ) but...Jira is not as 
compelling of a user experience upgrade.

A continual challenge related to this I feel is using the same software to 
track product bugs with potentially sensitive customer data in it, and public 
open development.

To link these things, I quite commonly move Bugzilla discussion that has no 
need to be private to Github, because I know Github is always public (from our 
PoV).

One thing that may help is to at least use different themes (e.g. blue colors 
for public CentOS issues, red for RHEL?) on issues.redhat.com.

Long term if Bugzilla slowly morphs into only being used by Fedora, personally 
I'd prefer to have bugs/issues in gitlab instead.

Yes, I personally think gitlab.com would be a good replacement for
src.fedoraproject.org and bugzilla.redhat.com.

I'm not sure how active the use of Red Hat Bugzilla is outside of the
distribution space. I have no concerns about Bugzilla being yanked
away from underneath us, but this does give us an opportunity to
evaluate what we want in a bug tracker and whether or not Bugzilla
meets the needs of the Fedora Project in 2022. Later this year, I'll
be conducting a survey to see what features we want from a bug tracker
so that we can start thinking about what best suits our needs.

To be clear: this is not a "we're moving off of Bugzilla next year"
statement. It's a "let's use this opportunity to make sure what we're
doing works for us" statement. I am not concerned about Red Hat
Bugzilla going away in the near- or medium-term. And perhaps not even
in the long-term (although nothing lasts forever).

I guess what I'm saying for now is let's not spend time speculating
about what might happen or making rushed plans to move our bug
tracking. I know that's not what Colin is doing, I just want to
preempt the discussion. Look for a survey sometime after the F36 final
release.

Hey Ben,

I volunteer to help you review the questions before the survey is actually 
conducted, if you are interested.

Given how we use bugzilla (we do not really use any big feature there)
in Fedora I would give a big +1 to use an issue tracker embedded in the
forge we use to store the packages (whether that is pagure, gitlab,
github, or something else).

Also I always resented that I need two separate accounts to deal with
Fedora packages, I think reducing that to host all in the same place
with the same authentication will also be a positive factor in
fostering collaboration, less barriers. It will also reduce
administrative overhead of having to configure components/ownership/etc
in multiple places and what not.

Finally by having issues and code in the same place it means we can
easily connect commits/PRs/MRs to the issues meaning our issue tracker
a lot more useful, and will allow us to have better content also in our
updates, where today associating an update to an issue (a bz) is not
happening as well as it could.

HTH,
Simo.

It's been possible to log in with FAS credentials (automatically if you
have an active Kerberos ticket) into bugzilla for quite some time now.
I still have my old bugzilla account but I'm not sure it's required
anymore.

Ah thanks, I missed that change, obviously my experience is now almost
2 decades long since I had to create my account, but I still think that
having bugs and code in the same place is a big win for a project like
Fedora, it is the same model followed by most upstream projects at this
point and seem to be working well.

Yes, I find having the issue tracker alongside the code repo is a good
thing for usability. For a start you have a list of bugs to browse,
visible from a single click. No need to do a search, excluding countless
products/projects that are unrelated to Fedora and component you want.
Similarly, you get the link to file a new bug directly against the code
you're looking at, compared to bugzilla where you must navigate through
several pages to even get to selecting Fedora, and then again select the
component in the form.

The Red Hat Jira instance mentioned earlier is just as bad as Bugzilla
in this respect, actually probably worse. It wants to show you all bugs
in the system straight away, until you type in the right search query
terms to restrict it down to a particular product and component you
are actually looking for bugs in.

With regards,
Daniel

But what about bugs filled on the wrong component (I maintain both
initial-setup & firstboot, lets say some users have a different idea
about what these project names mean) or bugs that are filled on one
component but turn out to be caused by another one ?

If all the bugs are effectively attached to a forge ditgit repo, what
to do you effectively need to take them a attach them to a different
repo ? Close the old one and open a new one on the correct repo ? If
so, there should be at least some automation for this.

Another thing, tracking bugs or bugs/RFEs impacting multiple
componenets, where to put those ? Wikipa pages like with the change
process or some empty forge repo perhaps ?

Also, while searching in Bugzilla can be quite a mess due to everything
being one one big pile by default, it can also be very useful to search
for say error messages, stack traces and other similar behavior across
bugs. It would be good to check if the forge solution also supports
that natively, not just searching the bugs attached to a project/repo.

I disagree as the interface for agile development like sprints, kanban
and other team tools is rudimentary at best and really not suitable
for anything more than the basics and is not a patch on the
functionality and plugin ecosystem that is available in Jira. The
gitlab functionality there is a toy in comparison.

GitLab at least has a "Move issue" button that lets you move
issues between repositories. Behind the scenes it is essentially
re-creating the issue in the new repo and closing the old
one.

Bugzilla was no good at tracking stuff across components either.
All the cross-component cloning and linking people did turned
into a big mess, which is a large part of why people increasingly
disliked Bugzilla for RHEL.

At least from Fedora's POV, the Feature page acts as a central
point of information linking off to many different places. I
don't know if that's the best answer, but bending a component
level bug tracker to that does is not it, no matter what bug
tracker we choose, because the granularity is a mismatch.

GitLab lets you search across multiple repos at the group level

Toys are fun, one of the four Fs for Fedora. I'm not interested in bringing
sprints or kanban to Fedora. I am interested in making it fun for
volunteers :)

Peter,
Bugzilla has no support for any sprints or kanban at all, so I do not
see how this is relevant.
Unless your claim is that Fedora absolutely needs a sprint/kanban based
organizational tool which would surprise me.

I personally do not think Fedora should tie itself to Red Hat's Jira.
For community oriented development Jira is simply not a great tool IMO,
because it is built with a "traditional" organization in mind, not for
community use.

Keeping it simple is actually an existential requirement for Fedora
where we have so many drive-by volunteers. Complex on-boarding becomes
quickly an impenetrable barrier to participation.
This is another reason I think common forges issue systems, while
limited are a better fit for community issue reporting than either
Bugzilla or Jira, because they are simple and immediately available.

You can easily write automation to pull in/mirror issues into your own
Jira projects if that's what you use for work and feel the need for,
IMO.

And just to be clear I am both a *heavy* Jira and Bugzilla user
(including writing automation for both and other stuff via bots) for
work, so I think I can say I know what I am talking about.

Simo.

The comparison is reasonable, but I would ask if support for things
like sprints, kanban, etc is actually important for Fedora's bug
reporting needs ? Personally I can't see that it is given the way
I see that maintainers work in Fedora in an adhoc way, usually
independantly, and light on any formally required processes or
bureaucracy.

When I look at how we've evolved & used Bugzilla over the years
for RHEL, I feel like much of the unpleasantness has been because
we've tried to take a bug tracking tool, and bend it into being
a project management tool. Thankfully Fedora kept its use of
bugzilla simple, and didn't try to make it apply specific dev
practices/workflows.

IOW to me the appeal of the git forge bug trackers is precisely
that they are very simple, to both reporters and maintainers.
They may not be suitable for RHEL, but they feel like a decent
fit for Fedora.

IMHO if there are times when some group of Fedora maintainers is
closely collaborating and wants to use agile dev practice, it
ought to be possible to use a separate tool for those tasks,
linking to the bug tracker if & when relevant.

With regards,
Daniel

Uhhh! Whoah! Yes, we certainly do!

I think people may be underestimating how much of Bugzilla we use.
Replacing it would *certainly* not be a drop-in operation.

We use the dependency tracking extensively, as part of core Fedora
processes (the release blocker process and the Change process at
least). We use flags for package review. We use keywords and
whiteboards for various housekeeping and documentation processes. I
know a lot of people use Bugzilla saved searches.

I'm not saying we need to keep Bugzilla forever, but we need to be
realistic about how disruptive a change moving off it would be. It is
not a simple thing to do.

My only real concern here from a Fedora standpoint is security
tracking.  As it stands, the security team files fedora bugs for us
linking back to the umbrella issue where most discussion happens.  I
would really miss that workflow if it were to break as unfortunately
the kernel does get a number of CVEs to address (we are at 43 so far
in 2022, we had 211 in 2021).

I would be very much against this move to integrate with the source
forge. While It would probably work well for large parts of the
distribution, it would be a bit of a nightmare for something like
kernel with the number of bugs that it gets, and the rate of moving
through things.  I am not advocating for Jira here either, but at
least what I currently see in gitlab and pagure would be a bit of a
nightmare for me.  I do very much like the idea of being able to
perhaps tie bugs to kernel versions rather than Fedora releases
though.  It would be a useful feature in whatever we might choose if
we were to move.

These features are disabled for the Fedora product in
bugzilla.redhat.com, but the code is there.  Perhaps you have different
views what tool support for these processes should look like?

This was exactly my point, Fedora does not use sprints/kanban with
bugzilla now, so it does not seem like a fair comment to complain that
another bug tracker proposed as replacement does not have them either,
unless suddenly there is a need for them (I personally see no need to
have a fedora specific sprint/kanban system).

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the ultimate consequence here
is "Red Hat Bugzilla might go away, or stop being maintained, at
whatever point it's no longer needed for RHEL 9", right?

That could obviously have pretty significant consequences for Fedora.
Bugzilla isn't only an issue tracker for Fedora; we run some
significant processes through it, notably the Change process, the
blocker/FE bug process, and the prioritized bug process. In A World
Without Bugzilla all of those would need adapting (and their
documentation updating). There's fairly tight integration between Bodhi
and Bugzilla, which would need to be redesigned. Those are just things
I can think of off the top of my head. There are also a couple of
decades worth of internet links to Fedora issues on RH Bugzilla, of
course.

I guess the two big choices for Fedora if RH said "we're not
maintaining Bugzilla any more" would be 1) take over maintaining
Bugzilla or 2) switch to something else. 1) would probably be the path
of least resistance, I guess.

This does also kinda lead to a larger question for me, trying to wear
both Red Hat and Fedora hats at the same time[0]. I wonder if we're
kind of lacking a...mechanism, for want of a better word, to handle the
*generic* case here. Let's rewind to Ye Olde Days, when "the Fedora
project" first started. At that point Fedora and Red Hat shared a lot
of tooling and infrastructure, and this was useful to both sides in
many ways; it saves on development costs and it makes it easy for
people to work in both worlds. With my Red Hat on, I think I'm allowed
to say that internally we often talk about this being desirable -
having consistency between how X is done in Fedora and how it's done
for RHEL - and it obviously has benefits to Fedora too (it means we
don't have to find the resources to do that same work at Fedora level).

However, situations like this make me wonder if we might have an issue
with keeping shared infra/tooling where it's desirable. It seems like
this is a decision/conversation that's been happening within RH, about
what makes sense for RH in terms of RHEL development. AFAIK this is the
first time it's been formally talked about in a Fedora context, and the
messaging is "RH has already decided to stop using Bugzilla for RHEL
after 9". In other words, RH has decided on its own to move away from
something that is part of the shared RH/Fedora "heritage way of doing
things".

I'm not saying that's wrong, but as I said it does make me wonder
whether, if both sides do find shared tooling/approaches beneficial, we
might want to approach this kind of potential change differently in
future. Otherwise it does seem like we could sort of gradually drift
apart, with no explicit intention to do so, and lose the benefits of
shared tooling and process. Unless the ultimate outcome of this is

Short term it is the path of the least resistance, but at least what
I've heard from $dayjob, maintaining a Bugzilla instance is no easy
task, as they are often customized (via non-upstream patches) and this
all needs to be maintained. I cannot speak for our infra team, but I
really don't know if they'd like yet another huge service, because this
effectively means they'd have to take over maintenance of
bugzilla.redhat.com...

No, certainly not. I think it would have been nice if the tooling
discussion happened before RH decided to drop Bugzilla so that we can
all use a common tooling. However, I also know that in a business
sometimes reaching such a consensus is everything but easy. It would
have been nice if someone at least tried though.

I have no idea, to be honest.  There's a lot of assumption in that
statement and it certainly could be an outcome, but I'm not aware of
any plans towards that directly.

Fedora and RHEL process and tooling has deviated significantly over
the years.  So much so that by the time I joined the RHEL team, it was
already very different.  That was almost 5 years ago, which means the
individual decisions that led to it were even earlier.  I don't really
want to revisit those decisions because I wasn't around and can't
speak to why they were made, but the connection between Fedora and
RHEL via bugzilla is minimal at best.

The commonality that brings the most shared benefit is the activities
of our communities, the quality and rigor they bring into Fedora, and
the sources we share.  Tooling and process are orthogonal to those.
Important, because they certainly lend themselves to aiding that
quality and rigo

RHEL is choosing not to use Bugzilla for future versions of RHEL.  I
need to be clear in wording there, because Red Hat is a company, RHEL
is one of its products, and we're only talking about newer versions of
that product.  I am not aware of any plans for Red Hat to drop
Bugzilla.  I am aware of plans for newer versions of RHEL to no longer
use Bugzilla.

I was going to reply last week, but last week kind of turned out to be One
Of Those Weeks. Here's what I'm thinking: we should plan to migrate to
something else in the next three years. There are two reasons for this, and
only one of them is that Red Hat is moving away. The second is that Bugzilla
isn't a great tool for what we need anyway.

On the first part: yes, there's a long, slow sunset, but I think
realistically we're going to see business-side attention drop significantly,
and we'll have correspondingly worse and worse service. Right now, there are
basically only two people keeping it all going, which is heroic. I don't
think it's too much pulling-back-the-corporate-curtain to guess that if one
or both get tired of that and decide to go start a yak farm, Red Hat won't
prioritize hiring backfill dedicated in the same way. We could ask CPE to
keep it going, but... there's so much more I'd like to ask CPE. (And non-CPE
volunteers? There's so much that's more interesting!)

So to the second part: Bugzilla isn't what we really need anyway.

I'm not saying Bugzilla has been terrible — it's served us well, in fact.
And I have personal fondness for it that, which I do not for, say, the wiki.
:) Buzilla is it's deeply integrated in a lot of our processes, and we've
got a lot of automations and so on. It's important. But... there's a lot
that could be better. I think specifically:

1. It doesn't serve as a single place to track everything. We've got stuff
   scattered around Bugzilla; issue trackers in Pagure GitLab, and GitHub;
   pull requests in all of those places; and more. Not to mention upstreams
   (and inconsistent approaches to tracking upstream issues). I'm not
   arguing that we need ALL things in one place, but it's important that
   Bugzilla isn't that now anyway.

2. Bugzilla a terrible experience for end users. Usually it's the _Wrong
   Place_. When a user has a problem, that may or may not be caused by a
   software defect. This is a whole topic of its own, but in short, it's
   really better for most users to report problems at Ask Fedora, and then
   possibly after triage a bug should be filed and tracked somewhere.

   Many of our users _are_ advanced and recognize real defects and file good
   reports, but this leads to even more frustration, because our response is
   inconsistent. Maybe that report should actually be upstream. Maybe it's
   in a dependency package that's really only loosely maintained. For
   whatever reason, a lot of perfectly good reports end up closed EOL, which
   is never a good outcome.

3. We're inconsistent with PRs vs issues, which is confusing and makes more
   duplication. I have seen cases where a packager complained that someone
   filed a PR that they never noticed, saying "this should be a bug so I'll
   see it", while others close bugs with "please send a PR". We could make
   stronger statements about policies, but as long as these two things exist
   in separate places, that tension will keep coming back.

Plus plenty of minor things: Our workflow still is shoehorned around a bunch
of RH-centric stuff (lots of fields, flags, and statuses that we don't
really use or want). It's not great for the review workflow, or for some of
the other things we've twisted it to. A component-centric approach makes it
hard to track larger issues. The SCM workflow is ... not good.

And I'm sure there's more. But I'm not really here to _complain_ about
Bugzilla. It's just actually not filling our needs. I therefore think that
Jira / issues.redhat.com wouldn't either — although it's got a ton of
features on top, it's fundamentally the same kind of thing.

We need define exactly what we do need, and figure out how to get _that_, in
a sustainable way going forward. And fortunately, we DO have a few years, so
for once we could do this _before_ it's a crisis.

I think we should create a project to figure this out. In fact, I think it
should be a Fedora Objective. But, it also shouldn't be a completely
blue-sky initiative — we should avoid trying to develop a new gigantic piece
of software that we own. (See past results on that, *sigh*.)

We do have some pieces already in place that should be part of the
foundation (or at least other metaphorical bricks in the construction):

1. Ask Fedora is the place for users to report and discuss problems. This is
   our first-line of support, and it's where we can do triage. Then,
   software defects may or may not be tracked relating to those
   conversations.

2. Package-specific issues should be next to the PRs. Let's enable issue
   tracking on src.fedoraproject.org (with whatever gitforge we end up with
   that on). I think this makes sense for initial package review too,
   althoug

There is one thing I worry about here - and maybe we need to take this
up internally within Red Hat, but whatever - I strongly believe that
*at a minimum*, going to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=NNN should show you the
report, comments, and attachments for bug NNN. *Forever*. RH Bugzilla
is effectively a huge, 20-year long knowledge base at this point.
Probably hundreds of thousands of places on the internet link to RH
bugs. Taking that offline would be effectively an act of vandalism.

It may not need to keep actually working as a dynamic web app if we do
retire BZ - we could reduce it to a server that just serves up static
snapshots of the content - but I'd really hate to see the content lost.

Yeah, agreed. There's a lot of useful history!

For what it's worth, Wayback Machine links like
https://web.archive.org/web/20120719062752/https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=998
seem to generally work. I wonder if we could officially "donate" it all to
them.

It would be an act of massive self-harm to Red Hat too, not merely
community projects using it.

As a RHEL package maintainer, I frequently consult old bugs, from
links we have embedded in patches / changelogs / mailing lists /
commits. It is not unknown for me to look at bugs *10-15* years old
to understand the history of why something was done the way it is.

IOW, even if RHEL changes to use Jira for all future bug tracking
tomorrow, the need to reference bugzilla tickets could remain for
literally decades to come. Jira has been mirroring some bugzilla
content for a while, but that's by no means a complete archive
of relevant history, and still leaves the problem if figuring out
the matching link.

Thanks for sharing this Josh. Would you be able to expand on why Red

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?

What is going to happen to the CentOS Mantis instance
?  From the looks of it, it probably should
just be switched off?

Thanks,

Since we've moved CentOS Stream to bugzilla/jira I think it will make more and 
more sense to look at deduplicating the number of bug trackers we have. CentOS 
Linux 7 bugs are still nominally tracked in Mantis, though. 

We do not have active plans to retire bugs.centos.org yet.

Hi,

I am trying to request a package for RHEL 9, but I cannot find RHEL

Red Hat has long used Jira in various parts of the company, with JBoss
and other products being heavy users for quite some time.  Within the
past few years we've consolidated a number of different instances into
the single issues.redhat.com instance.  That has enabled us to more
easily plan and coordinate across our product portfolio.

RHEL's decision is certainly informed by that same overall direction,
but also specifically influenced by the limiting factors of using
multiple tools to accomplish similar things.  We've been using
Bugzilla since Red Hat Linux days, and while it has served us well as
a defect tracking backend, it was never designed to handle the
complexity we have for planning and coordinating the varying scope of
work we have.  Aligning to a single tool will help us refine our
processes internally.

As for benefits to CentOS, or any of the other upstream projects we
interact with, we'll have to see.  I think the intention is to
minimize overall impact to start with, and then evolve our workflows
to bring further benefit where we can.  That being said, we are
certainly aware that we need to default to open issues to allow us to
collaborate directly in the open source manner we've long held to be
fundamental to our communities.  I expect that approach to behave very
similarly to how Bugzilla is used today.

Please don't file it there. :) 

Take a look at the handy doc: 

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/epel-package-request/

If anything is unclear there, please do let us know. 

While RHEL may be moving to jira with RHEL10, EPEL is very likely to
stay with whatever Fedora is using (currently bugzilla).

Small point of clarification.  If you want to add a package to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 9 (the product), then you should likely open a
support case via the Customer Portal and request it as an RFE.

If you want to request a subpackage of an existing RHEL 9 package that
is not included in RHEL, follow this and replace 8 with 9:
https://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS8/UnshippedPackages

If you want to add a package to Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9
(the wonderful community project), then follow what Kevin says below.

It really depends on the exact thing you are after.

The package I need is redhat-lsb-core.
I built the package, and its dependencies on RHEL 9 from SRPMs
downloaded from an RHEL 8 instance.
I am using a developer subscription of Red Hat.

We have no plans to add redhat-lsb-core at this time.  Most users are
able to port their software to use the fields in /etc/os-release.
