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.

While we are shipping pidgin 2.10.7 in RHEL 7.3, there have been a few upstream releases with bug-fixes and features that could be interesting for us. There are also a few security fixes that we can pick up. See:
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/www/src/tip/htdocs/ChangeLog
http://pidgin.im/news/security/

I'd suggest that we rebase it to at least 2.10.11, since it doesn't have an API changes from 2.10.7. If possible (ie. telepathy-purple, pidgin-sipe continue to work) we should go all the way to 2.11.0.

Just and idea, can we do it in 7.3?

Sure. If you are willing to test it, I am willing to rebase it. :)

Sad. I already did the work to rebase it in August, and was hoping it could make it to RHEL 7.4.

I have built pidgin-2.10.11-1.el7:

Rebase happened.
