Re: Adding mingw64-gtk4 and mingw64-libadwaita

[Sim Tov]

Unfortunately I don't know how to package for Fedora (or any other distro),
but I have found this:

https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-gtk4
https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-libadwaita
https://packages.msys2.org/base/mingw-w64-gtksourceview5

How different is this from what Fedora needs? Or can this just be uploaded
as is to Fedora?...

Adding mingw64-gtk4 and mingw64-libadwaita

[Sandro Mani]

Easiest is if you use an existing rpm spec as a template, i.e. 
mingw-gtk3 [1] could serve as a good template. I believe most is self 
explanatory, but I'm happy to answer any questions.

For a packaging tutorial, see [2].

Adding mingw64-gtk4 and mingw64-libadwaita

[Sim Tov]

First question is - how far is what I've found from what is needed? Can it
be uploaded as is or not?

Adding mingw64-gtk4 and mingw64-libadwaita

Hi Sim,

No. Fedora compiles its packages from source code. It's a hard requirement. Other 
distros like Arch or Ubuntu are a little more lenient if you are coming from them.

The links you provided are to binary (already compiled) packages, but you could use 
their PKGBUILD file as a pointer to translate into a RPM SPEC file.

Before you continue any further you will need to become a Fedora packager to import 
the packages. This requires a sponsor to approve you to become a packager. Once 
approved you can look for approval of a review request for a new package. After the 
package has been reviewed you can then import it into Fedora, build it, and push it 
out to the Fedora repos.

See the packager documentation for more information:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/package-maintainers/Joining_the_Package...

Thanks,
Michael

Adding mingw64-gtk4 and mingw64-libadwaita

[Sim Tov]

Hmmm... I just wanted to help cross-compile Gnome Text Editor for
Windows... but all this seems to be too much of a burden to just start
working... And I'm actually a Debian user, so I don't have experience or a
working Fedora instance...
Is there an alternative way to get packages updated/added within Fedora?
