hopefully web apps also bring more improvements to gnome web too, I'd love to use it as my main browser but every time I try to it's quite buggy

Wow! You've got the PWAs working!
Would you be able to point me to the right place which enables this? Is it just the if with_webappsif with_webapps condition, or was there more to it?

%if %{with_webapps}
%{_datadir}/swcatalog/xml/gnome-pwa-list-foss.xml
%endif

%if %{with_webapps}
%{_datadir}/swcatalog/xml/gnome-pwa-list-foss.xml
%endif

In the spec there's:

# Disable WebApps for RHEL builds
%{!?with_webapps: %global with_webapps !0%{?rhel}}

# Disable WebApps for RHEL builds
%{!?with_webapps: %global with_webapps !0%{?rhel}}

Amazing! And the rpmspec is grabbed from Gnome GitLab I guess

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:55 PM

Yeah, only other changes are:

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:55 PM

%global gnome_version 44.2

%global gnome_version 44.2

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:56 PM

%global tarball_version %%(echo %{gnome_version} | tr '~' '.')

%global tarball_version %%(echo %{gnome_version} | tr '~' '.')

(instead of using %{version})

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:56 PM

Version:   %{gnome_version}.ublue

Version:   %{gnome_version}.ublue

(So we know it's ours)

Kyle Gospo

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:56 PM

Robert•6/6/23, 7:56 PM

Do you have to bump this when there's a new gnome minor release?

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:56 PM

Yeah, just use whatever %{version} was in the upstream spec file

Kyle Gospo

K

Kyle Gospo•6/6/23, 7:57 PM

We'd just follow whatever fedora does upstream to their spec

Kyle Gospo

Probably a stupid question, but how do I download the ublue-os COPR instead of the regular gnome-software?
Simply by adding the ublue-os repo will mean I download the ublue package?

question for the team on a pattern:

Thanks! You must only need that if there's packages with the same name. LXC doesn't require the --from part

cassidy wants to ship the inter font in Beyond, and I could just git clone it into /usr/share/fonts in the containerfile, whoever we think it's nicer to snag the github release instead of pulling from git

j0rge

j0rge•6/6/23, 8:16 PM

Anyone doing anything clever or am I just wgetting and splatting the tarball?

he wants the beta releases right from github, he's on the gnome design team so needs to be fresh from upstream

Small bug in yafti, it shows the appid as the app name

pretty sure the window name needs to be explicitly set, let me see where

the Rust GTK bindings do this:

    let window = ApplicationWindow::builder()
        .application(app)
        .title("My GTK App")
        .build();

    let window = ApplicationWindow::builder()
