Thanks Robert-André,

SPEC revised accordingly.

Comment 3 Fabian Affolter 2020-07-02 08:29:56 UTC
From my point of view, this package should be splitted in a server and a client package. The server package should provide a systemd unit file (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Systemd/).

Good idea.

Split the two components with a server and client subpackage, and write a systemd unit file to handle the server and client lifecycle. Fortunately this is worked here upstream https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/pull/694

Comment 5 Robert-André Mauchin 🐧 2020-07-02 16:41:16 UTC
Maybe wait for upstream for SystemD integration. It needs more eyes.

Comment 6 Ding-Yi Chen 2020-07-03 00:48:45 UTC
A few concern regarding separation:

1. It is not a big package: 26 files take about 2.6 M
2. Both client and server use barrier for GUI, and GUI show both client and server configuration, thus it will break if you just install one of them.
3. Same machines can be set for both clients and servers. 
   For example, the laptop I am using is a barrier server at home, but it is also a barrier client in my office.
   I am not sure that systemd is smart enough to handle this usage.

I suggest that we don't wait for that pull request.

I agree we shouldn't wait, I think upstream needs to work on the unit file they plan to ship.

I've looked at Debian and Arch, they seem to ship the whole package as one unit.

Package approved.
