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.

A number of prominent gtk applications (such as chrome) don't build against the 2.20.1 version of gtk2 that is in RHEL6, anymore. 

We are proposing to rebase gtk2 to the current 2.24.x release, 2.24.23.

Marek, note that tpopela already has glib rebase packages here:

http://download.eng.brq.redhat.com/scratch/tpopela/webkitgtk_rhel_rebase/

I've prepared my own set of rebased packages. These are:

glib2-2.28.8-1       (this one removes gsettings as the one in RHEL6)
gdk-pixbuf2-2.24.1-1 (taken from Fedora 16)
gtk2-2.24.23-1

I had to add the gdk-pixbuf2 as a separate package since I haven't found a way how to build it from a single srpm together with gtk2.

It is not finished yet (it mainly needs fine-tuning of obsoletes/provides).
