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.

Description Bastien Nocera 2019-09-02 11:17:40 UTC 
libbluray is only used in gvfs to read the title and thumbnail for video Blu-ray discs.

As the playback portions of libbluray aren't used in RHEL and we don't ship the devel package to build against what's possibly an outdated version of the library, it would be easier to drop this user, and let EPEL and the community in general handle maintaining the library.
Comment 1 Kaleb KEITHLEY 2019-09-03 13:18:10 UTC 
Is there a reason you don't simply change the name of the library (and rpm) in RHEL8?

It seems a shame to remove the functionality from gvfs.

Changing it to something like liblibblurayrht.so would clear the way for EPEL and/or the CentOS SIGs to ship libbluray and libbluray-devel.

It would be far more work than the functionality warrants. Ideally, we'd replace
the functionality with an open-coded/more targeted version, but seeing as, when
I originally wrote the functionality, it was already super-niche, I don't see
the point spending any more time over this.
Comment 3 Ondrej Holy 2019-09-10 09:21:11 UTC 
That makes sense to me.

I've pushed this change into Fedora already:

I don't see a reason for that change to happen in Fedora. The reasoning behind
disabling that dependency was for RHEL, not Fedora.
Comment 6 Ondrej Holy 2019-09-20 10:51:14 UTC 
To make it clear, I haven't removed libbluray dependency from Fedora package, I only added changes like %if 0%{?rhel} -Dbluray=false %endif in order to simplify future maintenance...

I should have checked the code directly. So that's perfect, thanks!
Comment 9 Gary Buhrmaster 2019-10-21 15:57:33 UTC 
Will someone (at RH) be removing libbluray from EL8 in order that EPEL8 may build/package libbluray without violating the don't duplicate rules?  Is there an existing ticket I can follow and reference for the removal (and then reference in an EPEL8 request)?

FWIW, there was a request to ship libbluray-devel (following the process requested for consolidation of -devel packages for EL8) made via https://pagure.io/epel/issue/61 which perhaps should be amended/canceled if libbluray is to move to EPEL8.
