To support fvwm for epel8, Bug 1756673, we need xlockmore for fvwm built in menus. However, it appears xlockmore depends on gnome-icon-theme, this was removed in RHEL8 and doesn't have a direct replacement. This dependency is just the icon file for the .desktop file? Can xlockmore be built to use a supported package's icon file or maybe something that's part of the xlockmore distribution?
I am open to have xlockmore use any other icon. No problem. Can you provide a patch? Or do you want to maintain the epel8 branch.
If you set me as the co-maintainer, I can try to build it. No promises though.
Created attachment 1625720 [details] Use adwaita-icon-theme's system-lock-screen icon Using rpms/xlockmore master branch to build xlockmore for EL8 update Requires from gnome-icon-theme/gnome-icon-theme-legacy to adwaita-icon-theme system-lock-screen.
So it turns out the el7 package is semi-broken since gnome-icon-theme (xlockmore's require) doesn't provide a icon gnome-lockscreen. It's from gnome-icon-theme-legacy. However, it appears the same icon is provided by adwaita-icon-theme's system-lock-screen. Using the attached patch I removed the if-rhel and only using adwaita-icon-theme system-lock-screen. Built xlockmore for EL8 via mock and installed without issue. adwaita-icon-theme is in RHEL 7/8 and Fedora 29+ The icon appears as expected in gnome when using the .desktop item searching for xlock.

Any update on this? Any reason the attached patch can't be used to create the epel8 branch?
Following up to see if this package will be co-maintained? If needed I can maintain the epel8 branch.

I cannot add derekschrok to xlockmore because that user does not seem to be in the packager group.
Should I request sponsorship or should you request a co-maintainer at https://pagure.io/packager-sponsors? I have little Fedora exp. outside of submitted bug reports for RHEL/centos/epel: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&list_id=10763890&namedcmd=My%20Bugs%20%28Closed%29 Majority of the current work is to get fvwm (1756673), distcc (1783740), and ccache (1784484) in EL8. When I get some free time this month I plan to package for pulseaudio-module-xrdp (1757616). If it has any bearing I actively maintain multiple packages for the FreeBSD ports tree: https://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=maintainer&method=exact&query=dereks@lifeofadishwasher.com and https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&list_id=332759&namedcmd=All%20My%20Bugs
