Packages for openSUSE and Fedora (currently supported releases) #132

Hi, thanks for writing this great interface for GNU gdb.

I've recently noticed no packages were available for Fedora, so I packaged it myself.
This is available as a COPR repository, so it's not official yet. COPR is similar to Launchpad/PPA, but for RPM-based distros.
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/martinjungblut/seergdb/

Currently the package doesn't provide a .desktop file, which I realised later is provided by your upstream sources.
I'll add it, and try to get this package to become officially available in standard Fedora repos.

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin.

Thanks so much. I can't possibly package every distro out there. I'm hoping people will eventually do that for me :^)

Others have added it to Arch and Gentoo. Another person has submitted Seer to Debian for ITP (Intent to Package). There were some problems with my use of Icons and not having the right license disclaimers. I believe its fixed now, but I missed the current Debian release.

Anyway, with your work, I hope it can be part of Fedora. Thanks for that. Let me know if there's anything more I need to do. Does a "seer/fedora" folder need to be added? Perhaps for the missing .desktop file?

Hi Ernie,

It's my pleasure, really! This is a great tool, I'm having a great time using it :)

I think with what we have right now in the Git repository, I can create a Fedora package that would be accepted by the Fedora developers by improving the RPMSpec file until it passes their validation process (I haven't submitted the package yet).

But I'll forward whatever feedback they provide, how does that sound? Should any change be required on your end, I'll let you know!

Fingers crossed, it'd be great to have this shipped with the upcoming Fedora 38!

Hi @epasveer,

I saw your post on Reddit regarding openSUSE packages.
If you're interested, I'm pretty sure I can package this for openSUSE as well.

I'm going to work some more on this later today.
Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks

That's awesome if you can do that. Please do.

Let me know if anything is needed from my side.

Hello again,
I've successfully added the .desktop and icon files to the package:
martinjungblut/copr@9666a8a

Later I set the mode for those files to 0644. I also enabled a build for Fedora 38 and enabled Fedora's automatic package review tool.

There's a bunch of items there to be fixed still, but I think I can get to 100% compliance without any changes on your end!
After that's done, I'll ask one of the Fedora developers for the package to be included in the official repos.

The openSUSE build would've worked, except that some packages are named differently there for qt5-base and qt5-charts.
But we'll get there!

Hi @epasveer

Sorry for the immense delay on this topic.
I was recently hired by SUSE and am bringing Seer to openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Would it be OK if I named the package "seergdb"?
Or do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi Martin,

Congrats on the job!

"seergdb" is perfect. Many thanks for doing this.

Hi @epasveer,

Thank you!

The package request has just been submitted: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1102795
If accepted, the package 'seergdb' will become part of the main repos for openSUSE Tumbleweed, both i586 and x86_64.
I'm also doing builds for RISC-V, PPC64 and ARM.

These builds will run whenever you upgrade SeerGDB and I upgrade the package. I use SeerGDB myself, and I'll maintain the package for Tumbleweed, so users can always expect the latest stable release there.

I'm doing a QT6 build, since I'm aware you're deprecating QT5 usage.

Anyway, building for RISC-V, PPC64 and ARM also ensures your code compiles on those architectures. Should any build fails for any reasons on those archs, should I let you know?

Thanks
Martin

Yes, please. If they fail on those platforms, let me know. It will help me keep it cross-platform.

Hi Martin,

I peeked at the OpenSuse factory for seergdb. The build for 15.5 failed.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/live_build_log/devel:tools/seergdb/15.5/x86_64

[   36s] [  3%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/seergdb.dir/seergdb_autogen/mocs_compilation.cpp.o

I guess I'm wondering if I have something wrong set up. Seer builds fine on my 15.5 box.

Looking at the log, Qt is turning on c++17 support but the container that does the build doesn't have "" installed.

I suppose I could be wrong. Still, very odd.

Hi @epasveer. Sorry for the delay, I'll get into it ASAP!

Hello again @epasveer. So I was digging into this, and I've come to a solution.
Installing gcc-12 and letting CMake use it as a compiler does the trick.
You were absolutely correct!

Here's the diff for the fix:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/rdiff/devel:tools/seergdb?linkrev=base&rev=4

And you can check the build status here:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/devel:tools/seergdb

Now it works for both 15.5 and 15.4. Thanks for reporting this.
It hasn't been submitted to Factory yet, I'll do this next week, need to create a new thread on the mailing list.

I forgot to mention Tumbleweed works fine. Maybe 15.5 has an old compiler by default?

Maybe a flatpak version with the sandboxing disabled (so it can access projects everywhere on the disk) would solve some of the packaging efforts and make it more widely available?

I do think a Flatpak version could be a good idea. I'm not very familiar with Flatpak, or its sandboxing model. But I will be taking really good care of the openSUSE package.

ell1e Jul 30, 2024

In my personal opinion for dev tools the flatpak sandboxing is usually undesirable, but Flatpak and Flathub provide a way to reach many platforms. So I guess the main question is if it will have enough access to debug programs and to be useful, despite flatpak.

epasveer Jul 31, 2024

Looking briefly at Flatpak, is seems to be some kind of VM for the process. I could be wrong.

However, the tutorial says: "Access to other things, such as other processes, is deliberately not possible". This is scary to me as it would prevent Seer from connecting to an already running process.

Again, I could be wrong.

Maybe a flatpak version with the sandboxing disabled

Oh, I just read this. If so, that would work.

Hey, quick update here, SeerGDB is now officially a part of openSUSE:Factory, meaning soon it will be a part of the standard openSUSE Tumbleweed repositories!
