Description:
Waybar is a highly customizable Wayland bar for Sway and Wlroots based compositors.
Fedora Account System Username: alebastr

I've been contributing to upstream project and maintaining copr repo with waybar for about a year and increasing amount of complains about lack of the package in official Fedora repository has brought me here.
Since this is my first Fedora package I'm seeking a sponsor.

Notes to reviewers:
 - Changelog and Release from copr will be reset on import
 - Upstream has no better description for the project and most of the other distribution packagers didn't write one.
 - There's an upcoming upstream release, but it will introduce dependency on https://github.com/HowardHinnant/date/ which is a pain to package. I'd prefer to have one pending review at a time.

Comment 1 Jan Staněk 2020-02-06 15:27:09 UTC
Not a proper review, just my 2 cents:

> Source0:        %{url}/archive/%{version}.tar.gz#/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
With github, there is no need to use the #-renaming trick for tarballs.
Prefer `SourceN:  %{url}/archive/%{version}/%{name}-%{version}.tar.gz`.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/SourceURL/#_git_hosting_services

> # disable systemd user service by default
Maybe I'm missing something, but any service in Fedora is not enabled by default; AFAIK you need a preset file only if you want to enable it without user interaction. Unless you have a compelling reason (in which case I would appreciate a comment in the spec file) to ship the preset, just get rid of it entirely.

Also, the unit file presumes the existence of a wayland-session.target, which we do not have in Fedora at the moment – so enabling the service would not have the desired effect of starting the service at login (as far as I can tell). I'm not sure what should be done with that.

---

Other than that, it looks good at a glance; thank you for the effort in preparing the package.

Noted, will be changed in next update.

Unfortunately user sevices are enabled by default. There's no global preset, however there's a plan to add it in f32: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Systemd_presets_for_user_units
I'm tracking that effort and will add proper conditionals once the change lands into fedora-release for f32.
You are right though, I need to update a comment with a reference to that change.

I'll check that.
One thing I found with mako and redshift is that WantedBy=default.target starts services too early and does not get environment from sway. Right now I'm using custom sway-session.target and starting it from sway config as `exec 'systemctl --user import-environment; systemctl --user start sway-session.target'`, but that doesn't seem to be upstreamable.

Comment 3 Till Hofmann 2020-02-07 08:58:49 UTC
Thanks Jan for having a look at the package already.

For the user service preset, can you please add a comment and a link to the F32 change to the spec. This makes it obvious what's going on and is also a reminder to remove the preset once the change is accepted.

Is it possible to start waybar simply with something like `exec waybar`? If so, you could also remove the service all together until a proper solution was found. You should probably not include a service that does not work as expected.

Other than that, the SPEC looks nice and clean! Running fedora-review also didn't show any obvious problems. I'll follow up with a formal review once the above issues are addressed.

Comment 4 Aleksei Bavshin 2020-02-07 09:43:57 UTC
waybar could be started from sway-bar(5) swaybar_command or with `exec`. Systemd user service is not really necessary for that case, so I'm removing it for now.
It might become a problem in a future, once I fix everything required for StatusNotifierItem tray dbus activation and add dbus service. Hopefully we'll figure out how to mix sway and systemd user services by that moment.

Looks good, approved!
