Description Nathan Cutler 2024-04-10 11:48:20 UTC

xpra fails to build in openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP6 because setup.py fails to detect the SLE environment and doesn't know that it needs the same special libexec handling as openSUSE.

I'd talked with Nathan about this via Slack back in the 1st-2nd week of April. We're basically on the same page about it. I support his efforts, but I don't particularly want [no negative connotation here] "hacks" for SLE/Leap making their way into X11:Utilities/xpra[-html5] as it would make maintaining it for TW more difficult. There's a lot of churn to the project, and almost no way SLE/Leap can keep up w/ development. Upstream already has a tier-list of supported distros and I feel like complicating that for SLE/Leap has little benefit.

I have https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:sbradnick:xpra-python311 pulling in and building 99.9% of the backend requirements for Leap 15.6 (15.5 has more trouble) and it does produce a usable xpra .rpm which can be used.
