Comment 1 camd 2025-01-29 22:05:09 UTC

The spec file for this package includes the following sed commands, which don't match on this version of the source:

> %setup -q
> 
> # change default background for Fedora
> %if 0%{?fedora} >= 37
> sed -i 's|/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-verticals.png|/backgrounds/images/default.webp|' common/xfdesktop-common.h
> %else
> sed -i 's|/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-verticals.png|/backgrounds/images/default.png|' common/xfdesktop-common.h
> %endif

I think we fixed this in rawhide, but didn't ever actually fix it in the stable branches using 4.18. ;( 

Also, in f42+, it's changed format again.

Mukundan: can you take care of this? Or would you like me to...

Comment 3 Mukundan Ragavan 2025-02-18 02:50:49 UTC

yes, it does look like we need to update this on various branches. Xfce 4.20.x on rawhide is also probably broken.


I am going to use this flag "--with-default-backdrop-filename=" for the fix. I will take care of updating this everywhere in the next couple of days.
