There used to be also packages on COPR for Fedora and

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.
I will happily pass on my CDE spec file to someone else who has more time.
The problem I have run in to lately is I simply don't have time to maintain it
anymore with my projects at work. I will even set up the Copr repo again to
automate builds again.
It is possible to have one spec file build for multiple distributions that use
RPM, but given the differences between them all it's better to maintain
separate spec files. To make maintenance easier, it might be appealing to
split out the sections of the spec file in to different files that are
%include'd in the main spec file when building for different distributions.
If someone is interested in taking the cderpm project and continuing it,
please let me know. I used to have far more free time to work on this sort of
stuff.
Thanks,

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.
