Bug 885409 (mate-applets)

Forgive my naivety, but how do you install the rpm from that file?  I tried running the following, and it gave me an error:

sudo rpm -ivv mate-applets-1.5.0-1.fc18.src.rpm

I'll put a couple of logs from this as an attachment, in case it's helpful.

Created attachment 683259 [details]
Error message as seen in the terminal\

This is what I see in the terminal after running rpm -ivv on the package.

Created attachment 683260 [details]
stderr

And if I redirect stderr to a file, this is what I see - it does give an error, but some of the other output is missing, so I'm not sure what exactly the error is.

Please remove this as this package has no libs

find %{buildroot} -name '*.la' -exec rm -rf {} ';'
find %{buildroot} -name '*.a' -exec rm -rf {} ';'


Also please consider splitting package into separate applet subpackages.

Would rather not split the package at this time. Will remove those commands from the spec after import. Please let me know if there are any other issues

Ok.

Ok.

Please let me know if there are any other issues

Your dist tag is wrong please fix that as well.

[!]: Dist tag is present.

It should be %{?dist} (you missed the ?)

Also your build requires are bloated, why do you need BuildRequires: gtk2-devel when BuildRequires: pygtk2-devel drags it in.

repoquery --requires pygtk2-devel
/usr/bin/pkg-config
pkgconfig
pkgconfig(gtk+-2.0)
pkgconfig(pygobject-2.0)
pycairo-devel
pygobject2-devel
pygtk2 = 2.24.0-5.fc18
pygtk2-codegen = 2.24.0-5.fc18
pygtk2-doc = 2.24.0-5.fc18
/usr/bin/pkg-config
pkgconfig
pkgconfig(gtk+-2.0)
pkgconfig(pygobject-2.0)
pycairo-devel
pygobject2-devel
pygtk2 = 2.24.0-5.fc18
pygtk2-codegen = 2.24.0-5.fc18
pygtk2-doc = 2.24.0-5.fc18


Please remove BuildRequires: gtk2-devel

naming: ok

sources: ok
0d903468bb288c3c05030c36fa5a25c8  mate-applets-1.5.1.tar.xz

build: ok (mostly)
1.  SHOULD fix
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-timers-applet
maybe you meant, --disable-timer-applet ?

license: not ok
2.  MUST fix License tag, checked with licencecheck, found all sources to be
GPL (v2 or later), so please use
License: GPLv2+

macros: ok

scriptlets: ok

build: not sure.  tried local build, got a bunch of unpackaged files wrt mateweather and multiload applets.  submitted scratch build to confirm:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4942825
4942825 build (f19, mate-applets-1.5.1-1.fc18.src.rpm) completed successfully

ok, probably just a matter of some missing buildrequires for those extra applets, I'll leave it to you to decide if you want to include/package those or not.

Meh, only one real blocker found, but largely cosmetic, so I'll leave it to you to fix prior to doing any official builds.

I tried to install this using "yum localinstall" and got the following errors. It is possible that my situation is a common one. I am using Gnome now, but when I upgrade to Fedora 18, I will have to use Mate (because, so far as I can tell, I will not be able to use 8 workspaces in Gnome, and this is how I have worked for the last 15 years - workspaces help me remember what is where). If one is switching from Gnome to Mate, then, for a while, one will need both. I suppose I could uninstall the Gnome applets - the only one I use is multiload - but this seems risky.

Oh, fun. :-/

those conflicting items will need to be rectified somehow, probably just rename them (add a mate prefix or postfix to the filenames)

Oh yay, unpushing.

I know this bug is closed, but I still cannot test these applets, particularly multiload (the only one I want). I cannot figure out how to add them to the panel. The "add to panel" dialog does not list them. I have tried all sorts of other things using "custom applet", but nothing works. Perhaps this is a bug in a different component, but I'm not sure how the system works. (It is not easy to figure out from looking at the files.)
