Fedora Developer Portal package

[frantisekz]

I was able to fix paths issues relatively easily and I've created repo with fixed version: https://github.com/frantisekz/fedora-developer-portal-portable

So, the next things on todo are:
*Update rpm to use portable version on Fedora developer portal (so it could be used offline)
*Unbundle Electron from app itself so it could be imported to COPR
*Find somebody to package Electron to Fedora

[phracek]

@frantisekz What about to create the package Fedora Developer Portal also in COPR? At least for testing.

[frantisekz]

@phracek Yep, I am working on it. I have only basic knowledge about packaging, so it is taking a bit longer.

[frantisekz]

@phracek Here you go https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/frantisekz/fedora-developer-portal/

(No .desktop file yet, use "fedora-developer-portal" in terminal)

[phracek]

I have tried it and it really works. Application is opened and I see Fedora Developer Portal as a application. Awesome.

[frantisekz]

I've released new version of fedora developer portal app for Fedora 24 and Rawhide. It doesn't depend on Electron, but on Epiphany. Thanks @mcatanzaro !

[phracek]

@frantisekz And what about F23?

[frantisekz]

@phracek F23 won't be supported since it depends on at least Epiphany 3.20, sorry.

[mcatanzaro]

I would hold off a bit before pushing this to Fedora, because we discovered this morning that it probably only works in GNOME and associated desktops as it depends on the GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE environment variable... and fixing this might require incompatible changes. See GNOME #767101.

[frantisekz]

@mcatanzaro I'll test it in some different DE and it might be possible to workaround potential issues by calling fedora-developer-portal script from .desktop file which sets GIO_LAUNCHED_DESKTOP_FILE .

[mcatanzaro]

Yes, a workaround using a script should work fine... but it really shouldn't be required. To my knowledge, you're the first person to try distributing a system-wide GNOME web app, so we can afford to make an incompatible change to get this right.

[frantisekz]

I personally have only GNOME but I tested it quickly on different desktop and even script doesn't work. I'll try to play with it.

As I am thinking about this, it might be better to break everything now instead of having different behaviour between 3.20 and 3.22.

It'd be nice to have the website built in Koji and then the included tests ran. Let me know the state of this.

[frantisekz]

@pvalena I've enabled tests in koji [0]. There are 6 Failures [1].

[pvalena]

Thanks!

There's a work in progress to fix those tests. Could you do the releases on the basis of the actual releases?

[pvalena]

Note: you probably do not need the website running (--detach) to be able to run the tests.
