Xiao-Long Chen and me are the maintainers of unity desktop environment for openSUSE and Fedora, Xiao-Long additionally maintains</div><div>also unity on Arch Linux. We use for building the packages the open build service <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=GNOME%3AAyatana" target="_blank">https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor?project=GNOME%3AAyatana</a></div> + +<div>It actually builds install-able and usable packages for Fedora and openSUSE. This week we'll give an official announcement that unity works on openSUSE and will make a live CD available based on openSUSE with unity. We would also like to see Mageia running unity, but this would not be done by us ( I am mainly working on openSUSE, Xiao-Long is working on Fedora and openSUSE). But I offer my help, if you want to do it also with obs on GNOME:Ayatana. At the moment the structure of a package is as follows:</div> + +<div><br></div><div>=> Package</div><div>===> package.tar.gz</div><div>===> %name-Fedora_17.spec</div><div>======> Fedora-123.patch</div><div>======> Fedora-456.patch</div><div><br></div><div>===> %name.spec (could be also %name-openSUSE_%version.spec)</div> + +<div>======> openSUSE-abc.patch</div><div>======> openSUSE-def.patch</div><div><br></div><div>===> PKGBUILD (for Arch Linux builds, at the moment you won't see lots of them, Xiao-Long is converting his arch packages from aur to go to OBS at the moment)</div> + +<div>======> Arch-xyz.patch</div><div><br></div><div>There are users of Mageia who would love to see it in Mageia: <a href="https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=130" target="_blank">https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=130</a><br> + +</div><div>It would't need to be done that much to get it working on Mageia.

It would need to be done for every package in GNOME:Ayatana to copy a spec file from suse or fedora as %name-Mageia_%Mageia_ver.spec and adjust the BuildRequires, Requires and the naming. Additionally it would be needed for packages that are only packaged with patches to add the Mageia sources and add the Mageia Patches to apply. </div> +<div><br></div><div>At the moment it is worked on the Mageia OBS backend, when it is fixed, is there someone here interested in adjusting the spec files to Mageia?</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Damian Ivanov</div> + |
