Description Wolfgang Ulbrich 2022-06-26 09:21:20 UTC

Please branch and build libXpresent in epel8.

I am fedora MATE Desktop Maintainer and i plan to build the whole Mate stack for epel8. LibXpresent is one of the few basic dependencies which i need to build our window manager marco.

If you do not wish to maintain libXpresent in epel8,
or do not think you will be able to do this in a timely manner,
I would be happy to be a co-maintainer of the package (FAS raveit65);
please add me through https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libXpresent/adduser

Thank you

Ok, sadly redhat ships only  python3-dbus (via @baseos).
But i need dbus-python-devel for buildind another package.
Please rethink your decision.

Opp, sorry, wrong pasting. Forget the last post.

Comment 3 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2022-07-02 11:19:16 UTC

Hi Kevin,
any chance to build libXpresent for epel8 branch please?
You can also add me as co-mantainer and i am happy to maintain libxpresent for epel8.
I need libXpresent-devel to build the Mate WM marco which is a basic Mate package.
In result it doesn't make any sense for me to start building the Mate stack without libXpresent.

Comment 4 Kevin Fenzi 2022-07-02 17:58:56 UTC

Sure, happy to. Can do epel8 and epel9

Happy for co-maintainers, but really this hasn't had a release for 7 years, so it likely doesn't need much maintaining. ;)

Comment 5 Wolfgang Ulbrich 2022-07-02 18:41:39 UTC

Thanks.
Add me as co-maintainer, than i can build for epel8 for myself.
A branch and package for epel9 is already there, or not?

Comment 6 Robert Scheck 2022-07-02 19:03:18 UTC

libXpresent for EPEL 9 has an interesting situation: https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/libXpresent - deprecated in C9S.

Comment 7 Kevin Fenzi 2022-07-02 19:55:06 UTC

Added you. Let me know if you need anything further from me.
