Description Dmitry Vakhnenko 2016-09-25 21:38:50 UTC
Description of problem:

Package git-core has a strange dependency - libgnome-keyring.
If it need for keyring-functionality then why we use it? Why not gpg-agent like other distros? ("kde-keyring" and "gnome-keyring" can work with it)

Petr Stodulka <pstodulk> says:
Just by quick overview, dependency is created automatically because
of required library from gnomelib - which is in specfile required only during build of the git (git-core package). Probably it could be resolved by separation of:

/usr/libexec/git-core/git-credential-gnome-keyring

to different (or own package) and some another changes in specfile.

Additional info:
Sorry for my English.

Comment 1 Dmitry Vakhnenko 2016-09-25 21:44:24 UTC
i watched specfile and i think git package should be rebased for more modularity.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:21:31 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:47:22 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:22:45 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
