MATE 1.20 rebuild for RHEL/CentOS 7

This repo contains scripts to rebuild MATE 1.20 RPMs for a RHEL/CentOS 7 environment.

The EPEL repository for RHEL/CentOS 7 distributions currently has MATE 1.16 RPMs. Bugzilla 1436260 requests a newer MATE version be made available, but so far only MATE 1.18 is available in a COPR repository. The current maintainer of the MATE packages for Fedora has no interest in maintaining MATE for epel7 or epel8.

Almost all of the MATE 1.20 packages can be rebuilt on CentOS 7 with minimal patches. For each MATE component, the approach taken is to:

  • Use the fedpkg tool to clone the Fedora git repo from the master (rawhide) branch
  • Perform a git checkout to the commit just before MATE 1.22 was committed
  • Apply any patches required for epel compatibility (see below)
  • Use fedpkg --release epel7 srpm to construct a source RPM
  • Use mock --rebuild ... to rebuild the source RPM

These scripts are assumed to be running on a host running CentOS 7, with the EPEL yum repository enabled. Running these scripts will require approximately 3.5GB of disk space.

Using pre-built MATE 1.20 RPMS

To use the pre-built MATE 1.20 RPMs that were built using these scripts, create a yum repo configuration (the following assumes you're running as root):

cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/mate-1.20-el7.repo <<EOF
[mate-1.20-el7]
name=MATE 1.20 RPMs for EL7
baseurl=http://repos.lxpro.com/mate/1.20/el7
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://lxpro.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-repos.lxpro.com
EOF

To upgrade:

yum --enablerepo=mate-1.20-el7 upgrade

The rest of these instructions cover building your own set of MATE 1.20 RPMs.

Mock environment setup

./setup_mock

Build dependencies

Certain packages from the EPEL repository need to be available to build MATE RPMs, but we can't just enable EPEL in the mock build root because there's old MATE RPMs we don't want to pull in. Instead, just populate a separate yum repository with these required RPMs and make it available to the mock chroot.

MATE component EPEL build requirements
caja pangox-compat, pangox-compat-devel
atril djvulibre-devel, djvulibre-libs
caja-extensions gajim, python-nbxmpp, python2-crypto, python2-gnupg, libtomcrypt, libtommath
mate-applets wireless-tools, wireless-tools-devel
mate-panel (runtime) fortune-mod
mate-sensors-applet libXNVCtrl, libXNVCtrl-devel 
./setup_deps

Build source RPMs

Source RPMs are constructed by performing the following operations on the Fedora git repository for each MATE package:

  • Use fedpkg clone -a <package-name>
  • Use git log to find last commit before MATE 1.22 changes were made
  • Use git checkout <git-commit-hash>
  • Use fedpkg --release epel7 srpm

The make_source_rpms script uses a config file that specifies the git commit hash.

Some of the source files need to be patched because:

  • Some conditional macros don't include %{rhel} (caja)
  • Recommends: isn't support in EL7 (mate-panel)
  • EL7 needs calls to /sbin/ldconfig in RPM scriptlets
  • EL7 needs calls to /usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas in RPM scriptlets
  • EL7 needs calls to /usr/bin/update-mime-database in RPM scriptlets
  • EL7 needs calls to /usr/bin/update-desktop-database in RPM scriptlets
  • EL7 needs calls to /usr/bin/gtk-update-icon-cache in RPM scriptlets
./make_source_rpms

Build binary RPMs

mate-applets has a dependency on mate-settings-daemon, which has a runtime dependency on mate-control-center-filesystem, which has a dependency on mate-settings-daemon-devel, which has a dependency on mate-settings-daemon.

To work around this, we manually install mate-settings-daemon in the build root and ignore dependencies. The second run of ./make_binary_rpms will then succeed.

./make_binary_rpms

MATE_SETTINGS_DAEMON=$(ls /var/www/html/mate1.20/mate-settings-daemon-1.20*.x86_64.rpm)

sudo mock -r mate1.20-7-x86_64 --copyin ${MATE_SETTINGS_DAEMON} mate-settings-daemon.rpm
sudo mock -r mate1.20-7-x86_64 --shell 'rpm -ivh mate-settings-daemon.rpm --nodeps'

./make_binary_rpms

Yum Repositories

Separate build artifacts into binary, source, and debuginfo yum repositories:

./make_repos

(Optionally) sign the RPMs and make them available somewhere, such as S3 or a local webserver:

cd repos/mate1.20
aws s3 sync . s3://repos.lxpro.com/mate/1.20/el7
