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.

We plan to rebase GNOME to the current stable release as we've done before in 7.2. This bug will be used as a tracker for the rebase effort.

I did this already in Copr, however you will find that Evolution will not be buildable. The latest WebKitGTK4 that evolution needs can not be built on gcc 4.8, i tried very hard. I was able to build it just fine on gcc 6.2 on el7, but that defeats the purpose.

If evolution and epiphany are not included in the rebase, the rest will build fine however.

My gnome 3.22 Copr for your perusal to see how I did some items:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/duh/GNOME_3.22_for_RHEL_and_CentOS_7.x/

What reasons are there to rebase to 3.22 and not 3.24?

We are rebasing to the newest version that has had sufficient testing and validation in a Fedora release. 3.24 is not even released yet.
