Bug#851363: [steam] Add steamos-compositor

[Alexandre Detiste]

From steamos point-of-view, this is a _native_ package, versioned 1.34.

As this is developed elsewhere, from Debian's point of view,
this would be a non-native package, starting with version 1.34 .

A packager would have to start from:
http://repo.steampowered.com/steamos/pool/main/s/steamos-compositor/steamos-compositor_1.34.tar.xz

The helper tool (git-build-package for example) will ignore the debian/ 
directory from this tarball
& then you would have to provide your own (which can be based on upstream's 
debian/ directory)

All these steps are needed to keep a clear separation of upstream
and Debian development.

Greetings,

I don't have the hardware device & would prefer to have it packaged by someone
who has one; but but still I can provide some hints:
-> debian mentors is the best place to get start with packaging
-> this is best if this is team-maintained by the Games Team,
so the little things (and big ones) can be fixed if main uploader
is not currently available

I imported the srcs here https://github.com/bog-dan-ro/steamos-compositor
 . I changed it a little bit to fix debian better.

Hi,

The srcs & debian stuff are already there, someone (I can help) just needs to 
polish & rebuild it and publish it (I don't have access to do it).

Cheers,
BogDan.

Hi,

I guess what you really meant is that someone does the work to have 
steamos-compositor packaged.
(maybe you ?)

As the release cycle & license (BSD) are different from "steam" package,
this desserve it's own source package.

( I know this because I made the same "mistake" filling a bug for SteamCMD last 
year:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=775512 )


The resulting binary package (.deb) would go in contrib, as this is 
BSD-licensed;
but useless without non-free "steam" package (I guess).

Greets,

Alexandre Detiste

Bug#851363: [steam] Add steamos-compositor

[Bogdan Vatra]

Package: steam
Version: 1.0.0.54-2
Severity: wishlist

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Dear Maintainer(s),

It will be great if Debian will add steamos-compositor (http://
repo.steamstatic.com/steamos/pool/main/s/steamos-compositor/).

Steamos-compositor comes with a xsession script, its own compositor which 
makes the steam layer actually work (kde & gnome ones have quite a few 
problems).

It seems the package just works, you probably just need to recompile it and 
push it to debian repos. I've manually installed it from http://
repo.steamstatic.com/steamos/pool/main/s/steamos-compositor/steamos-
compositor_1.34+bsos1_amd64.deb, with no dependencies problem (I'm using 
debian SID), and I could login, using sddm, into the new SteamOS xsession. 
Steam started in bigpicture mode and everything just worked: games, streaming 
and the steam overly ;-) !

Yours,
BogDan.
