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.

Comment 1 Vivian Bian 2011-04-08 03:16:46 UTC 
Since there isn't an exact spice-gtk component in BZ . So file this bug on spice-server first .
Comment 2 Vivian Bian 2011-04-08 03:18:22 UTC 
Since now it is late for 6.1 build to fix this problem, request to fix it on 6.2
Comment 4 David Jaša 2011-05-19 13:01:45 UTC 
I've tried to build spice-gtk from upstream git ( git://gitorious.org/spice-gtk/spice-gtk.git ) on my RHEL-nightly laptop. I needed to backport this stuff:

* gtk-introspection - included in build system, but not included in RHEL 6 builds: 
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=14420

* RHEL vala is stuck at 0.7 series and it isn't shipped:
https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=17605
EPEL vala is at 0.10.4:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=4055
so it would be necessary to update it o 0.11.7 and push it to RHEL

Maybe there was something more I didn't notice as I backported other packages to the system earlier.
Comment 5 Christophe Fergeau 2011-05-19 13:35:34 UTC 
These requirements are only needed when building from git, if you get a tarball, gobject-introspection is optional, and vala won't be needed since the tarball will contain the preprocessed .c files.
Comment 6 Christophe Fergeau 2011-05-25 11:07:09 UTC 
For what it's worth, I've prepared spice-gtk 0.6 packages for rawhide and epel6 which I hope to be able to push shortly (some time today or tomorrow). Vivian, would an EPEL package be enough for your testing for now?
Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2011-05-27 14:43:20 UTC 
It's being built on http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3096144
Comment 10 Christophe Fergeau 2011-08-05 15:56:18 UTC 
There's now a spice-gtk build in 6.2, see https://brewweb.devel.redhat.com/packageinfo?packageID=32830
Comment 13 Gianluca Cecchi 2011-11-16 17:24:45 UTC 
Hello,
where to find spicy in rh el 6.2 beta?
Installed spice-gtk-0.6-2.el6.x86_64.rpm but
# rpm -ql spice-gtk
/usr/lib64/libspice-client-gtk-2.0.so.1
/usr/lib64/libspice-client-gtk-2.0.so.1.1.0
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/spice-gtk-0.6/README

No spice-gtk-tools as in Fedora?
I see anyway that in spice-gtk-python-0.6-2.el6.x86_64.rpm there is the module to use spice inside virt-manager
Thanks,
Gianluca

> No spice-gtk-tools as in Fedora?

If you can not find spice-gtk-tools in any repository, you can get it by rebuilding spice-gtk source package.
Comment 15 Gianluca Cecchi 2011-11-17 08:13:42 UTC 
Is there any particular reason why in current build setup for the new spice-gtk package as in 6.2 beta, spice-gtk-tools is not generated?
Comment 16 Christophe Fergeau 2011-11-21 11:55:32 UTC 
spice-gtk-tools is available from the "optional" 6.2 repository
