[As a note, upstream is in trouble because the maintainer is quite unwell,
judging by the ticket responses on the slimfork site. I hope he recovers well
and soon, at least for his sake.]
So, I think that there are two options: one, perhaps a long-term one would be
to add code that allows for reading .jxl files. That is doable and a lot of
work, but might only be transient as Fedora moves to something else down the
road.
So, I was thinking of using magick to convert the file to a png while the rpm
was being built. Might not be kosher anyway, but I brought in ImageMagick as a
BuildRequire, and replaced:
ln -s ../../../backgrounds/f%{?fedora}/default/f%{?fedora}-01-day.png
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/themes/default/background.png
with:
magick ../../../backgrounds/f%{?fedora}/default/f%{?fedora}-01-day.jxl convert
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/themes/default/background.png
I don't know why this creates the following error:
magick ../../../backgrounds/f42/default/f42-01-day.jxl
/home/localuser/rpmbuild/BUILD/slim-1.4.0-build/BUILDROOT/usr/share/slim/themes/default/background.png
magick: unable to open image '../../../backgrounds/f42/default/f42-01-day.jxl':
No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3596. error: Bad exit status
from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.62ipD8 (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.62ipD8 (%install)
I do not quite understand why I get this error, especially because the "ln -s"
appears to find this path.
Is there a way to specify the .jxl file in the spec file for magick to convert
it without hardcoding it?
Many thanks again and best wishes,
Ranjan
