Bug#900928: RFP: fractal -- Matrix group messaging app
5.0.0~~git20221105 draft 5 needs embedding 140 crates (73 missing, 3 broken, 49 outdated, 15 ahead); works fine; newer code requires rustc 1.63. Main task now is to wait for Rust team to upgrade rustc: GIO/GLIB crates v0.16 and GStreamer crates v0.19 require rustc 1.63. Here's how you can help: As user running Debian, you can test this draft package: Either build it yourself from source or tell (by posting to this bugreport) if you prefer testing the binary packages I built - then I will share those. As developer (but no need to be official member of Debian!), you can join the Debian Rust team and help package these missing crates: https://salsa.debian.org/matrix-team/fractal/-/blob/debian/latest/debian/TODO - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature

Bug#900928: RFP: fractal -- Matrix group messaging app
5.0.0~~git20220412-0.0 draft 5 needs embedding 230 crates (108 missing, 9 broken, 83 outdated, 14 ahead, 16 unreleased); apparently works fine when gnome-keyring is installed. Until now I had accidentally tested an old custom-installed binary, so possibly this is true even for older draft releases as well: The issue with glib schema is gone, and when package gnome-keyring is installed Fractal succesfully logs into my self-hosted Matrix instance. My plan is still to mainly wait for upstream to stabilize their codebase, and to wait for Rust team to update/upgrade more crate packages. Now is a good time for you to help test this draft package (either build it yourself or tell if you want me to provide you a binary package) and provide feedback on how well it works in your desktop environment.

Bug#900928: RFP: fractal -- Matrix group messaging app
Needs embedding 247 crates (16 from git snapshot); Builds in ~40 minutes; Runs but has issues with glib schema file and libsecret Upstream code now requires a new library not in Debian and not easily embedded (not a Rust crate), so my plan to continuously update to upstream HEAD is currently stalled. So I suspect I will now mostly wait for upstream to stabilize and wait for the Rust team to bugfix and upgrade existing libraries already in Debian.

It would be great if you could get the Rust team involved, as the majority of the dependencies should go in there. I started packaging dependencies for the non-next-Fractal back in the day, but the crypto stuff (for secret-service) was taking ages to get through NEW, which is why I gave up at some point. -- Cheers, Andrej

Now reduced to needing 370 crates embedded. A few more should be possible to replace with system crates, but a large part is either not yet packaged at all or needs upgrading to link with gtk4. As mentioned in previous posts, on my (non-GNOME) environment it segfaults unless I remove /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Fractal.gschema.xml, and then it logs in but then apparently disconnects again whe it cannot store credentials. Maybe those two issues are connected, and maybe they disappear on a GNOME desktop (i.e. are a matter of depending on and loading proper desktop daemons): Help needed to investigate that. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature

Great! The segfault can apparently be avoided by removing /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.Fractal.gschema.xml and then running "glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas". I can now log in, and Fratal begins indexing data (I can hear matrix-synapse churning at my self-hosted non-SSD server few meters from me), but when done it presents no rooms, and in terminal it spewed this: > Error: Can't store the password using libsecret > Error: Can't store the token using libsecret If you want to compile on your own, then try if you get as far as me - or further if you happen to be running GNOME, which I suspect might provide a smoother ride than my sway environment. If you want to try packages I build, then say so and I can arrange to put them online. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature

Quoting Antoine Beaupré (2022-03-17 15:51:22) > Is there any progress on the packaging of fractal in Debian? Any > blockers or missing crates? I have now put together a draft source package, tracked at https://salsa.debian.org/matrix-team/fractal It compiles, also in an non-networked build environment if first fetching 428 Rust crates (see debian/README.source). Build takes ~40 minutes on my local amd64 system. The built executable segfaults, however: > $ LANG=C fractal > > (fractal:354481): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 12:02:22.755: Settings schema > 'org.gnome.Fractal' does not contain a key named 'markdown-active' > Sporings-/stoppunkts-fælde (smed kerne) That last message oddly ignores the LANG variable - it says something like "Tracing/stoppoint trap (threw core)" which I guess essentially means a segfault. My plan is to continue refine this package until suitable for release into Debian, and then maintain it in the Matrix team. @Antoine (and others reading along): You are quite welcome to help. If you want to help test, then please tell if you want me to provide pre-built binaries (when no longer segfaulting I expect to compile for amd64 and arm64 for my own use, and can share those more widely if there is interest). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
