There used to be also packages on COPR for Fedora and RHEL/CentOS/Scientific Linux built from David Cantrell's SPEC file. But recently, the repository was empty, indicating that the build had failed. Now, it has disappeared from COPR.

I have tried to build CDE 2.3.2 from that SPEC file. Although the build succeeds, the installation in BUILDROOT fails. The reason is that InstallCDE instead of installing the desktop under the BUILDROOT/{usr,etc,var} directories attempts to install it under /usr,/etc,/var as if no options had been passed. Trying to create a tar file of the desktop also fails. I don't know if it is a shell issue (say the rpmbuild command uses /bin/bash instead of /bin/ksh to run installCDE) or if there is an issue in the script itself. I could send the log if necessary.

Previously, it was possible to create a RPM from the same SPEC file also for PCLinuxOS.

If the issue with installCDE is solved, it should be reasonably feasible to adapt the SPEC file of David Cantrell to other RPM based Linux distros such as OpenSuse, AltLinux or Mageia. The problem would be to get the generated RPMs accepted in their official repositories or at least in repositories indexed by repology.

Hi.

By looking at https://repology.org/project/cdesktopenv/versions I see that CDE is currently only packaged for Arch Linux, FreeBSD and NixOS operating systems.

Are there are plans for adding CDE to other systems like Debian?

Thanks.
