RHBA-2014:1577 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

New glib-networking packages are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The glib-networking packages provide modules that extend the networking support
in Glib. In particular, the packages contain a libproxy-based implementation of
the GProxyResolver class type and a gnutls-based implementation of the
GTlsConnection class type.

This enhancement update adds the glib-networking packages to Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6. (BZ#1101418, BZ#1119162)

The glib-networking packages are installed automatically as a dependency of the
libsoup packages.
