Description Daniel Berrangé 2021-11-17 16:31:47 UTC
Description of problem:
RHEL9 is currently including version 1.2.0 and upstream has recently made a 1.3.0 release of gtk-vnc:

Nov 16, 2021: Release 1.3.0
===========================

 o Add API to request screen rotation
 o Automatically pick gthread coroutine if ucontext is not available
 o Fix meson logic bug when disabling vala
 o Honour choice of python when generating keymaps
 o Fix error reporting and memory leaks encrypting auth data
 o Fix missing includes for GDK quartz and broadway backends
 o Switch to GNUTLS for VNC auth challenge to fix empty password handling
 o Fix handling of auth subtypes in gvnccapture program

As per the above notes, the only new feature is screen rotation support. Aside from that it is primarily a bug fix release and includes a fix for a regression we introduced in 8.4 tracked in bug 2024233. A rebase is considered to be not significantly higher risk than backporting the various bug fixes.
