Description: 
LightDM is an X display manager that:
* Has a lightweight codebase
* Is standards compliant (PAM, ConsoleKit, etc)
* Has a well defined interface between the server and user interface
* Fully themeable (easiest with the webkit interface)
* Cross-desktop (greeters can be written in any toolkit)

Comment 1 Terje Røsten 2012-05-13 12:51:21 UTC
a) I need a small patch to install:

 ## this seems to still be a hard-requirement for now, at least

b) lightdm-gtk is required as the default config file is using this greeter. 
I installed lightdm + lightdm-kde and it crashed.

c) Had to hack prefdm:

(Add an initscripts ticket and blocker?
Create README.fedora to tell how to switch to lightdm too?)


After fixes it seems to be working fine, thanks!

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2012-05-14 14:40:22 UTC
a.  is already is fixed in lightdm-1.2.2-9 (I updated the fedorapeople dir, but didn't post anything here yet), sorry.

b.  an open problem, we're trying to find a better solution via scripting or alternatives, or <better_idea_here)

c.  no need for hacks, just use in /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/lightdm
for now.  I think long-term (f18 hopefully), prefdm will be replaced by some systemd magic for display managers.

I hope you don't mind that I am interfering. But I created a solution for this issue based on alternatives: the default greeter-session is lightdm-greeter which poins to lightdm-kde-greeter or lightdm-gtk-greeter via alternatives.

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2012-06-10 16:06:07 UTC
thanks, I'll consider it, but I'd rather we finish the reviews first, then find some solution.  

Personally, I feel alternatives should be a last-resort solution, after all other avenues of simpler/safer ones have been exhausted.

You sure? Imho this should be fixed before shipping the package. It's kinda broken atm. By the way: I got that idea from debian lightdm package.

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2012-06-10 20:14:46 UTC
Yes, let's please focus on review blockers first, then work, fix, collaborate on development in rawhide to fix bugs and make things work well.

Comment 8 Gregor Tätzner 2012-06-10 20:42:59 UTC
pre review:

- licence
GPLv2 is not sufficient. Most of the files are GPLv3+ with exception off:
/liblightdm-gobject and /liblightdm-qt: LGPLv3+
/tests: not specified

- macros: please use consistently the name macro

- patch numbering seems odd

- if you install lightdm sub-packages isolated, COPYING file does not get pulled

- add CHANGELOG to %doc

- if you add lightdm user on installation, you should remove him on uninstallation again (%preun I suppose)

- I think you should split the devel package, but not sure if this is required

- lightdm.x86_64: W: log-files-without-logrotate /var/log/lightdm

- mark as config: %{_sysconfdir}/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.conf

rpmlint lightdm:
lightdm.x86_64: W: only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
lightdm.x86_64: W: non-standard-uid /var/cache/lightdm lightdm
lightdm.x86_64: W: non-standard-gid /var/cache/lightdm lightdm

rpmlint lightdm-devel:
lightdm-devel.x86_64: W: no-dependency-on lightdm/lightdm-libs/liblightdm

Can we ignore these?

Comment 9 Rex Dieter 2012-06-10 20:55:07 UTC
I appreciate the feedback, but please focus on review-blockers only first.

In particular, I need feedback on (stuff I'm not sure are worth worrying too much about right now...):

- macros: please use consistently the name macro
how so exactly?

- if you add lightdm user on installation, you should remove him on uninstallation ?

does it say that anywhere in our packaging guidelines?  (i'm pretty sure it doesn't, and if it does, we should probably get them changed) :)

- I think you should split the devel package, but not sure if this is required

ditto, as above.  it may or may not make sense to do this at some point, but it's largely a cosmetic issue.


the others I'll get to work on, thanks.

Just record the fixes in changelog, so I can track your modifications.

> - macros: please use consistently the name macro
> how so exactly?
The use of the %name macro is pretty much randomly. just search for "lightdm"

i.e. Source0: https://launchpad.net/lightdm/1.2/%{version}/+download/lightdm-%
{version}.tar.gz
Source2: , Patch2: , ...

You should decide if you want to use this macros or not. However, guideline doesn't state usage of name macro explicitly, so post-review too, I guess.
