As I've discussed with several people, and proposed to the C-Team,
here's a first draft of a conversion of the current xscreensaver 5.01
sources from the X gate to a spec file for the GNOME gate.
For this initial version, I've stuck with the current state of the code
as is (well, it reflects the update of rss-glx to the new 0.9.0 release
that's in my workspace getting ready for putback to X, since they accepted
all our upstreamable patches into that release, so it's a simpler port).
It most especially does not upgrade xscreensaver from 5.01 to a later
release (5.08 is the latest upstream, but upstream had a complete PAM
rewrite in 5.02, which while much better, is much different and would
require a lot of work to resync with our PAM/gtk-lock/auditing/Trusted
changes).
The patches came across mostly as is, just renamed to match the spec
file naming style, and with a few fuzzing errors cleaned up.
The one big change I've made from the X gate is a bit of package
renaming/refactoring.
In X the packages are currently:
SUNWxwsvr - core xscreensaver daemon & utilities
SUNWxscreensaver-hacks - non-OpenGL hacks
SUNWxscreensaver-hacks-gl- OpenGL hacks, including rss-glx
SUNW0xwsvr - l10n template delivered to g11n
SUNW*xwsvr - l10n packages delivered by g11n
In this spec file, the packages are:
SUNWxscreensaver - core xscreensaver daemon & utilities
SUNWxscreensaver-hacks - non-OpenGL hacks
SUNWxscreensaver-hacks-gl - OpenGL hacks from xscreensaver
SUNWrss-glx - OpenGL hacks from rss-glx
SUNWxscreensaver-l10n - l10n package built from this spec
SUNWxwsvr - backwards compatibility links in /usr/openwin
I've tried to copy the examples I saw of handling the l10n packaging
with the upstream code, but expect the g11n team will have to look at
merging this with the existing SUNW*xwsvr packages and figure out which
way they want to go.
At this point, the spec file builds & installs packages which seem to
work in a quick test via the screensaver control panel, so I'm looking
for feedback on how badly I failed to follow the normal GNOME spec file
rules/patterns/conventions and any suggestions for improvements from those
who have done a few more of these than I. (This is my first official spec
file! Please assume anything I got wrong is out of ignorance and help me
get this better for all our sakes.)
The spec file itself is attached. To avoid mailbox explosions, the 47 patches
and various other assorted files are posted at:
http://cr.opensolaris.org/~alanc/xscreensaver/
both individually and in a single tarball if you want to try building yourself.
I'd like to see if we can get this into the vermillion builds for 117 or 118,
let it get tested/soaked there for a couple builds, then coordinate a push from
vermillion to the Nevada branch at the same build we stop building in the X
gate.
Once 5.01 is in stable/nevada, then I'd be more willing to discuss
bigger/riskier changes to the vermillion branch version.
