Fedora ships OpenSans (open-sans-fonts), why change this?
Also, if "otherwise it won't run", then the font package should go in Requires:, not Recommends:.

I looked at the .desktop file and I think the best way to solve this would be to extract the whole chain of commands into a helper shell script, and then just launch that script from the .desktop file.

Also, taking a look at the upstream Makefile - the files are installed using "cp". Please consider patching this (and possibly sending the patch upstream) to use "cp -p" so that file timestamps are preserved.

Comment 5 Package Review 2020-09-14 00:45:24 UTC
This is an automatic check from review-stats script.

This review request ticket hasn't been updated for some time. We're sorry
it is taking so long. If you're still interested in packaging this software
into Fedora repositories, please respond to this comment clearing the
NEEDINFO flag.

You may want to update the specfile and the src.rpm to the latest version
available and to propose a review swap on Fedora devel mailing list to increase
chances to have your package reviewed. If this is your first package and you
need a sponsor, you may want to post some informal reviews. Read more at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_get_sponsored_into_the_packager_group.

Without any reply, this request will shortly be considered abandoned
and will be closed.
Thank you for your patience.

Comment 6 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2020-10-05 20:13:07 UTC
 - Is there files in this? That you would need to %config(noreplace)?

%{_sysconfdir}/%{name}

> Fedora ships OpenSans (open-sans-fonts), why change this?

Because of consistency and Cantarell more system-widely used also canonical for GNOME DE. Just wanted better defaults. But if you insist i'll accept this easy since and we can keep upstream defaults here.

Good point. Now 'abattis-cantarell-fonts' hard dep and there should'n be any issue since it availablin even in CentOS7 http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/abattis-cantarell-fonts-0.0.25-1.el7.noarch.rpm

I though this as well, but TBH i've lost interest a little bit to this package since i've packaged Ulauncher and sgtk-menu for Fedora. But i fixed that and upstreamed, see links in SPEC file.

Ok, this is in TODO area.

Yep. Fixed. Also this a directory, so now this look like this:

%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/

There is still some issues (new) but it works.

Comment 9 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2020-11-05 07:36:50 UTC
 - I'm not sure this can work on directories. Could you do:


%dir %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/
%config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/%{name}/*

 - There's an issue with entries.dsv


xlunch.x86_64: E: non-readable /etc/xlunch/entries.dsv 0

Maybe chmod it 0644 after generation.

 - What prevents you from doing that in install?

cp -rp svgicons/ %{_datadir}/%{name}/ 2>/dev/null || :
