If anybody else is working on these, or they shouldn't be done for some reason, please let me know!

My 64-bit current is badly broken (I think I'm not alone here) and I have a feeling so is 32-bit. So I can't build yet, but I can do the preparations.

Scrotwm is now Spectrwm if you want to build the newer of the 2. What's wrong with your x86_64? Mine is working well maybe we can figure it out. What kind of hardware do you have? Or did you break your installation?

Thanks for the tip about the name. That explains the brick wall!

I have uploaded packages for spectrwm here:

http://people.salixos.org/mimosa/packag ... rwm/2.0.2/

... and they appear to work ok.

However, two things are puzzling me.

slk-pkgcheck tells me there is no .desktop file in the package ... but there is. Is it in the wrong place?

[EDIT Here:
usr/share/xsessions/spectrwm.desktop]

slkbuild-postgen doesn't produce a "Buildscript and source" section:

slk-pkgcheck is a tool to help packagers identify potential issues with the package. The messages are not absolute. It up to the packager to review them and understand if and why the built package deviates from the norms and make appropriate corrections to the build.
In this case slk-pkgcheck threw a warning that there was no desktop file in the package. slk-pkgcheckt only checks in /usr/share/applications where the vast majority of the packages should put their desktop files. It's a warning because not all packages need a desktop file such as those that are started only from the command line. In this case as you noted the desktop file was installed in /usr/share/xsessions. Is this correct location? As the packager you should strive understand the application enough to determination this on your own. Of course as we learn there will always need to ask questions.

This is the first time I've seen a package for a window manager and have never come across a situation where the desktop file was installed in /usr/shar/xsessions (hence my comment "as we learn"). Here are questions I would ask to determine if the location of the desktop file was correct.

1) Does the package work as intended? Since you uploaded the package files I assume that you've tested it and it does work.
2) Is spectrwm meant to be started by the users as a graphical application? Since it a window manager I would think not and as such would not expect the need for a desktop file in /user/share/application.
3) Are there any other desktop files in /user/shares/xsession in a running system with other desktop managers installed. In my system here that I using now, this directory has both mate.desktop and xfce.desktop file. Installing the spectrwm desktop file the same directory seems to be consistent and make sense.
Based on this, I would conclude that the package as built is correct.
slkbuild-postgen doesn't produce a "Buildscript and source" section.
Again, slkbuild-postgen is a tool intended to make the processes ofsubmitting a package easier. Before shador posted his script, I created these post links by hand using an editor. I don't recall ever having this problem. A quick look at slkbuild-postgen script shows that the src file must be readable to create the links. Is your .src file readable by the user running slkbuild-postgen?

I have seen a *.desktop file in /usr/share/applications as well as /usr/share/xsessions for window managers in some OS's. There would also be a menu entry to launch the window manager from the currently running window manager, which never made sense to me, and yet, there it was.

Maybe if you installed spectrwm.desktop in both locations, you wouldn't get the warning.

Thanks laprjns, that's very helpful. I haven't actually submitted a ticket for this yet, but I spent several hours using it yesterday and everything does work, including the detection of spectrwm as a possible session to login.

The difficulty is learning how far to trust one's own judgement, given that there may always be some unknown factor in play.

Regarding the problem with slkbuild-postgen (I vaguely remember this happening before; then, I think I just wrote that part of the report manually), I'm puzzled. The permissions on that file look ok (fakeroot isn't really root). Just for fun, I tried running the report generator as root, with the same result.

So in this case, I'm still worried I may have made a mistake somewhere.
