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.

While testing clumens' patch for bug 580226 I hit this bug in the repo edit dialog. It doesn't like having an empty user passed to it.

Triggered by rebuilding loader with Chris' patch and passing proxy=http://proxy.home:3128 to the kernel while doing a PXE boot of the new build.

--- Additional comment from bcl on 2010-04-08 20:15:52 EDT ---

The same error happens on the password entry when I pass proxy=http://bcl@proxy.home:3128

--- Additional comment from bcl on 2010-04-09 02:13:11 EDT ---

Yum doesn't like it when empty username and password fields are "" instead of None. Submitted a patch that converts to "" on entry to the repo edit dialog and converts "" back to None on exit.

Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2010-07-14 11:50:05 UTC 
With snapshot #7 (0707.4 tree) booted with proxy=http://hostname:port. In anaconda UI selecting a repository and then clicking the Modify button shows the repo config dialog. Pressing OK/Cancel closes the dialog. There's no traceback and no username/password is specified. Moving to VERIFIED.
Comment 7 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 19:49:14 UTC
