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.

Description of problem:
w3m was removed during a package cleanup recently, and gegl's build requirement was overlooked.
We would prefer not to ship another web browser merely for a buildreq.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest releng nightly
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. look for srpms with missing buildreqs
It uses w3m for rebuilding README file - as
w3m -cols 72 -dump docs/index.html
I think this may be workarounded/patched and e.g. lynx may be used instead with some slight change (e.g. lynx -force_html -dump -nolist -width=72 docs/index.html ) - or pregenerated README can be provided as workaround...
I agree that it is not worth of readding w3m.
Verification:
Steps to reproduce:
Package version: gegl-0.2.0-11.el7
1. Open gegl.spec
2. Check that "BuildRequires: w3m" is present
Result: spec file contains "BuildRequires: w3m".
Steps to verify
Package version: gegl-0.2.0-18.el7
1. Open gegl.spec
2. Check that "BuildRequires: w3m" is not present
Result: spec file does not contain "BuildRequires: w3m".
