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.

Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
Important security updates now installed automatically Previously, it was not possible to have security updates installed automatically. Even though GNOME notified the users about the available updates, they could choose to ignore the notification and not install the update. As a consequence, important updates could be left uninstalled. A gnome-shell extension is now available to enforce the installation of important updates. As a result, when new updates are available, a dialog window notifies the user that updates will be applied and they need to save their work. After a configurable amount of time, the system reboots to install the pending updates.

Description Matthias Clasen 2016-01-28 19:55:33 UTC 
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1023/updates-dialog/

This extension was written to address concerns around the user experience with security updates. We should provide it in the gnome-shell-extensions package to make it easily available.
Comment 1 Vladimir Benes 2016-01-29 08:34:09 UTC 
please do include it as installed by default together with GNOME group
Comment 2 Florian Müllner 2016-01-29 12:23:15 UTC 
We'll also need to make sure the extension is enabled by default.
Comment 3 Florian Müllner 2016-03-04 17:50:22 UTC 
I've done a gnome-shell-extensions-3.14.4-15.el7 which adds the (untested) extension. We'll still need to make sure it's installed and enabled by default - following Fedora's background-logo-extension example, the component that depends on the extension could install a GSettings .override.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2016-04-12 16:03:53 UTC 
The new extension adds a few strings that need to be translated. I'm attaching an updated .pot file.

> We'll still need to make sure it's installed and enabled by default

I've discussed enabling by default with PM, and we've decided to just make the extension available for now, without installing or enabling it by default.

Those should already be handled by a future patch in bug 1304265.

Great, then we should be covered as of gnome-shell-extensions-3.14.4-15.el7. Moving to MODIFIED.
Comment 12 Michael Boisvert 2016-09-06 19:11:17 UTC 
Tested this extension by installing it through: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1023/updates-dialog/ and downgrading firefox. The dialog popped up after a restart and installed the updated firefox. 

Verified.
