Packaging overhaul #92

samcday · 2025-02-02T22:02:16Z

closes #70

The resources directory is intended for things that are embedded into, or otherwise needed by, the main phrog binary. The data directory is for stuff that should be dropped in the filesystem somewhere to support phrog at runtime. Put differently, resources/ is for the build, data/ is for the packaging scripts.

Booting a fully-functional phrog greeter session under greetd is a little complicated. The right way to do it varies by distribution. This commit introduces prescriptive configuration for Alpine and Fedora. Eventually Debian will be a first-class citizen here too (when I finally wrap my head around its packaging/tooling). Since Alpine already allows the greetd config file to be specified in /etc/conf.d/greetd, we make use of that. On Fedora, a distinct phrog.service unit is introduced which conflicts with greetd's default greetd.service. For now, the only difference this service has to the default is a --config arg. Later, when we support Plymouth flicker-free boot, it will also Conflict=plymouth-quit.service to take over that process (just like gdm.service does). This commit also introduces the use of gnome-session to run the phrog shell. This ensures auxiliary services like the gsd-* daemons and an OSK are present. Since gnome-session is in place, we also use that to spawn phrog itself. A mobi.phosh.Phrog.desktop file is now shipped for that. The phrog-session wrapper example Guido introduced recently is moved to data/ and shipped in Alpine and Fedora. Since this script is only intended to be referenced by greetd's default_session.command config, it goes in /usr/libexec rather than in the PATH. As such the --help and --version are excised, and the script is made as minimal as possible. The README is updated and cleaned up a bit to reflect this work. Signed-off-by: Sam Day <me@samcday.com>

I've tested the reworked packages across a collection of Fedora/Alpine devices, confirming OSK presence and proper power management. Going to land this now and cut a 0.44 release.
