gdm-2.28-ubuntu

May we should have a ubuntu-gdm package? they got a minimal gdm-setup tool inside.

as discussed here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=82089 ...

There are peoples who like to have some easy way to configure gdm... as gnome is some DM with Gui for everything...

So please give me advice to setup a PKGBUILD to build a package from .deb or the ubuntu source provided above.

Very quick guide: Debian/ubuntu package source is generated by applying a patchset (file with extension .diff.gz) to the original source (file with extension .orig.tar.gz). There may be patches that are applied to the source during the build process and these should be in a directory named debian/patches within the package source.

Before starting on the PKGBUILD take a look in the debian/rules file, where you will find a list of dependencies, configuration/compilation options and sundry packaging commands (the syntax isn't too difficult to follow). I haven't looked at ubuntu gdm but, serving as a worked example, here's the PKGBUILD that I used at one time to build lock-keys-applet from the debian source:

pkgname=lock-keys-applet
pkgver=1.0
_debianver=8.3
pkgrel=99
pkgdesc="Shows the status of the caps-, num- and scroll-lock keys"
arch=(i686 x86_64)
license=('GPL')
depends=('gnome-panel')
makedepends=('intltool' 'perlxml' 'gnome-doc-utils' 'pkgconfig' 'gnome-settings-daemon')
options=(!libtool !emptydirs)
url="http://www.wh-hms.uni-ulm.de/~mfcn/lock-keys-applet/"
groups=(gnome)
install=${pkgname}.install
source=(http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/${pkgname}/${pkgname}_${pkgver}.orig.tar.gz \
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/${pkgname}/${pkgname}_${pkgver}-${_debianver}.diff.gz \
background_colours.patch)
md5sums=('8dc772d62f0881c8978513d7e69de3db' \
'b6370bab36c78149cab19f1d71330feb' \
'de9521d1fd357658fd72d8f85fa25f17')
    
build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

  # Apply debian diff and patches
  patch -Np1 -i ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_${pkgver}-${_debianver}.diff || return 1
  for patchfile in $( ls debian/patches/*.patch ); do patch -Np1 -i ${patchfile} || return 1; done

  # Apply background colours patch
  patch -Np1 -i ${srcdir}/background_colours.patch || return 1

  # From AUR PKGBUILD
  # GtkTooltips deprecated in gtk 2.12, it's been replaced with GtkTooltip
  sed -i 's|GtkTooltips |GtkTooltip |g' src/lock-keys-applet.c
  sed -i 's|gtk_tooltips_set_tip;|gtk_tooltip_set_text|g' src/lock-keys-applet.c

  # From AUR PKGBUILD
  # GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC deprecated in gtk 2.14 it's been replace with G_CALLBACK
  sed -i 's|GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC|G_CALLBACK|g' src/lock-keys-applet.c

  ./configure --prefix=`pkg-config libpanelapplet-2.0 --variable=prefix` \
              --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib/${pkgname} \
              --localstatedir=/var --disable-static || return 1
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install || return 1
}

thanks i will give it a try > after a night of sleep
a short look to the gdm_2.28.1.orig.tar.gz shows me none like debian rules and no .diff files
But here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+so … 1-0ubuntu2

I've had a long and tedious day at work today, so this is brief and to the point Visit that link you posted, download gdm_2.28.1.orig.tar.gz and gdm_2.28.1-0ubuntu2.diff.gz, extract them both to the same directory, cd into the newly extracted gdm-2.28.1, list the contents

acconfig.h    config.h.in   docs                  Makefile.am    tests
acinclude.m4  config.sub    gnome-doc-utils.make  Makefile.in    TODO
aclocal.m4    configure     gui                   missing        utils
AUTHORS       configure.ac  INSTALL               mkinstalldirs  xmldocs.make
ChangeLog     COPYING       install-sh            NEWS
common        daemon        ltmain.sh             omf.make
compile       data          m4                    po
config.guess  depcomp       MAINTAINERS           README

then run

patch -Np1 -i ../gdm_2.28.1-0ubuntu2.diff

and list the contents again

acconfig.h    config.h.in   depcomp               MAINTAINERS    README
acinclude.m4  config.sub    docs                  Makefile.am    tests
aclocal.m4    configure     gnome-doc-utils.make  Makefile.in    TODO
AUTHORS       configure.ac  gui                   missing        utils
ChangeLog     COPYING       INSTALL               mkinstalldirs  xmldocs.make
common        daemon        install-sh            NEWS
compile       data          ltmain.sh             omf.make
config.guess  debian        m4                    po

Now, just for fun, list the contents of debian/patches

hm thanks so long but i think it will be a lot of work to build a archpackage....

The only thing iwe need is that configuration tool inside.. but i can not find any in the diffs but in the sources are some related files...

azleifel · 2009-11-21 21:06:20

Have a read through gdm-2.28.1/debian/changelog:

* debian/patches/09_gdmsetup.patch:
- Provide a setup tool for basic configuration

Yes this is a big patch... may it is possible to patch our gdm with this patch but may there are relations with other debian patches and so on ubuntu specific stuff inside... but i think it will be easier to do do it like this??

It's not just a question of adding the 09_gdmsetup.patch, the relevant parts of 99_autoreconf.patch will also have to be added so that the simple gdm setup tool will be built with everything else. IMHO, given the limited range of gdm 2.28 configuration options, it isn't worth the effort other than as a learning exercise. I just followed the wiki and used gconf-editor to sort the basics ("sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gconf-editor"). The only extra thing I have done is add the gdm user to the audio group so that gdm can make a noise when it's ready.
