Fixed In Version:	git-1.8.3.1-16.el7	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	The helper to store credentials in a GNOME keyring is now available in the _git-gnome-keyring_ subpackage Previously, installing git automatically installed GNOME components as a dependency, because the helper to store credentials in a GNOME keyring was part of the git package. With this update, the helper has been moved into the separate _git-gnome-keyring_ subpackage. As a result, the size of a git installation is reduced.

Comment 2 Petr Stodulka 2015-12-07 16:57:51 UTC

That makes sense.

Comment 3 Eli Young 2016-12-23 01:45:14 UTC

This is a result of the git-core package including git-credential-gnome-keyring. That should probably go into its own package.

Comment 4 Petr Stodulka 2017-01-24 15:54:10 UTC

Eli: yes, this is expected solution.

Comment 5 Petr Stodulka 2017-01-24 15:57:05 UTC

Just one problem is here, that this will be little incompatible change, because some people, who uses gnome-keyrings in git, will have to install manually another sub-package.

Comment 10 Petr Stodulka 2017-09-20 11:16:54 UTC

Move this bug to RHEL-7.6, because there is another bug for change in packaging of the Git that will not be acked for testing for rhel-7.5 and make sense move these two bugs together as both of them can involve requirement for manual installation of new sub-packages by user.

Comment 12 Leos Pol 2018-07-25 11:31:49 UTC

# rpm -q git
git-1.8.3.1-13.el7.x86_64
