Description Nelson Marques 2012-02-26 23:10:21 UTC

Description of problem:
I do build some packages to enhance my Desktop experience on RHEL6, and currently I'm struggling with libdesktop-agnostic due to the fact that the GTK+ package hasn't been patched to generate introspection files (ex: Gdk-2.0.gir).

Would it be possible that a future maintenance update could contemplate this so that I could avoid running a patched GTK+ stack ? (not that I'm afraid to do it, it just seems wrong that it isn't supported upstream).



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name        : gtk2                         Relocations: (not relocatable)
Version     : 2.18.9                       Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
Release     : 6.el6



How reproducible:
Try to build libdesktop-agnostic.


Additional info:
The deployment of such functionality would improve a lot RHEL Desktop usability and offer a bit more of options to users beyond the traditional GNOME2 Desktop.
Though I'm a happy RHEL customer, this limitation starts to be a bit annoying.

We don't have gobject-introspection support at all in RHEL6.
