Seeding the config gets the bar and the keybindings up, and then leaves
you looking at a black screen, because the autostart line that sets the
wallpaper named ~/.local/share/wallpapers/hyprcosmic/current directly.
That is a symlink import-theme --assets maintains, so it does not exist
until a theme has been imported -- which on a machine that has just
installed the package it has not.
The same line waited for the daemon with an unbounded loop:
until awww query >/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 0.2; done
awww is a Recommends and lives in a COPR, so on a machine that never
enabled that repository nothing ever answered and the loop spun at 5 Hz
for the length of the session.
Both now live in hyprcosmic-wallpaper, which falls back to the
distribution's own images when there is no link yet, gives up on the
daemon after ten seconds, and exits 0 on every path so autostart is never
left supervising a process that cannot finish. Fedora recommends
cosmic-wallpapers so the fallback has something to find; nothing in the
dependency chain pulled it in before.
Verified against all five paths: no awww at all, a daemon that never
answers, a fresh machine with no link, a link pointing at a real file,
and a link left dangling by a deleted theme.

# HyprCosmic, as one RPM.

|
# WHY THIS REPACKS RATHER THAN REBUILDS
|
|
# -------------------------------------
|
|
# There is no %build here. The spec packages a tree that `just install` has
|
|
# already produced, which .github/workflows/packages.yml stages and passes in as
|
|
# --define "stagedir ...".
|
|
#
|
|
# The alternative -- a spec that runs `just build` itself under rpmbuild -- is
|
|
# the more orthodox shape and is wrong for this project. `just build` compiles
|
|
# 27 Rust components; doing it a second time inside rpmbuild to produce bytes
|
|
# identical to the ones already sitting in the tree costs hours and buys
|
|
# nothing. Worse, it would let the packaged desktop and the `just install`
|
|
# desktop drift apart, and the whole point of shipping a package is that the
|
|
# two are the same thing.
|
|
#
|
|
# The cost of this choice, stated plainly: the resulting RPM is only valid on
|
|
# the distribution it was built on. Nothing here is statically linked, so an RPM
|
|
# built on Fedora 44 assumes Fedora 44's glibc, wayland, libinput and mesa. Build
|
|
# it on the release you intend to install it on. The workflow does that by
|
|
# running the whole job inside a container of the target distribution.
|
|
#
|
|
# WHY IT IS ONE PACKAGE, AND WHY IT IS A SMALL ONE
|
|
# ------------------------------------------------
|
|
# Fedora splits COSMIC into a package per component, which is right for a
|
|
# distribution tracking upstream. This fork changes three of them -- the
|
|
# compositor, the session and the config compiler it adds -- and they are
|
|
# versioned and tested together, so one package is an accurate description of
|
|
# what is actually supported.
|
|
#
|
|
# It is not a package per component and it is not the whole desktop either. The
|
|
# build tree produces all of COSMIC, because it is COSMIC's tree, but shipping
|
|
# all of it would mean owning files that 25 distribution packages already own.
|
|
# The workflow reduces the staged tree to what this fork actually produces
|
|
# before any of the three packaging recipes see it.

# COSMIC itself, which this runs on rather than replaces.
|
|
#
|
|
# One line pulls the whole desktop, because cosmic-session requires every
|
|
# component. That is exactly what is wanted: HyprCosmic forks the compositor,
|
|
# the session and adds the config compiler, and takes cosmic-settings,
|
|
# cosmic-osd, the portal and the rest from the distribution at the version the
|
|
# distribution tested them at.
|
|
#
|
|
# There is deliberately no Conflicts and no Provides here. An earlier revision
|
|
# had both, on the reading that a fork of the desktop replaces the desktop, and
|
|
# it could not be installed: this package's files collided with 25 others in
|
|
# rpm's transaction check, and satisfying that by claiming all 25 with Conflicts
|
|
# would have erased cosmic-greeter, which on a stock Fedora COSMIC is the
|
|
# display manager. Installing beside COSMIC costs three renamed binaries and
|
|
# leaves the stock session on the greeter's menu to fall back to.
|
|
Requires: cosmic-session >= 1.5.0
|
|
|
|
# The HyDE shell. These are separate programs this fork drives rather than
|
|
# builds, and without them the session starts to a blank screen with no bar and
|
|
# no launcher.
|
|
Requires: waybar
|
|
Requires: rofi-wayland
|
|
|
|
# The wallpaper daemon. Recommends rather than Requires because it lives in the
|
|
# alebastr/sway-extras COPR rather than in Fedora proper, and a hard dependency
|
|
# that cannot resolve would make this package uninstallable on a machine that
|
|
# has not enabled that repository. Without it you get no wallpaper; with it and
|
|
# no theme imported, you also get no wallpaper. Both are recoverable; an
|
|
# unsatisfiable dependency is not.
|
|
Recommends: awww
|
|
|
|
# Something for the wallpaper daemon to draw before a theme has been imported.
|
|
# hyprcosmic-wallpaper looks here first when ~/.local/share/wallpapers has no
|
|
# `current` link yet, which on a machine that has just installed this package is
|
|
# always. Nothing in the dependency chain pulls it in otherwise -- neither
|
|
# cosmic-session nor cosmic-comp requires it -- and without it a first login is
|
|
# a bar on a black screen.
|
|
Recommends: cosmic-wallpapers
|
|
|
|
# Nerd Font glyphs are most of what the bar and the launcher draw, and Fedora
|
|
# has nothing that provides them. This line used to say `nerd-fonts`, which is
|
|
# not a package in any Fedora repository -- so it could never be satisfied, and
|
|
# the fonts never arrived, silently, because that is what Recommends does when
|
|
# it cannot resolve. The two patched fonts Fedora does ship are no help either:
|
|
# texlive-inconsolata-nerd-font lands under texmf-dist and kitty's
|
|
# SymbolsNerdFont under /usr/lib64/kitty, and fontconfig scans neither path.
|
|
#
|
|
# So recommend the fallback the configuration actually names. rules.rasi asks
|
|
# for "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, Noto Sans Mono": this is the second of the two.
|
|
# It cannot draw a single glyph, but it decides what the text is set in instead
|
|
# of leaving that to whatever fontconfig happens to pick. A virtual provide
|
|
# rather than a name, because two packages carry it and either will do.
|
|
#
|
|
# The glyphs themselves have to be installed by hand. See README.md.

%description
|
|
HyprCosmic is a fork of the COSMIC desktop that takes its configuration in
|
|
Hyprland's idiom and wears a HyDE-style shell.
|
|
|
|
A single ~/.config/hyprcosmic/cosmic.conf -- with general { } blocks, bind =
|
|
lines and $variables -- is compiled into COSMIC's own configuration tree by
|
|
hyprcosmic-conf. The file is the source of truth: keys it names are applied at every
|
|
login over whatever the settings UI last stored, and keys it does not name are
|
|
left alone.
|
|
|
|
The shell is waybar, rofi and awww in place of cosmic-panel, cosmic-launcher and
|
|
cosmic-bg, and HyDE themes are imported directly. The compositor is COSMIC's,
|
|
with a Hyprland-compatible IPC socket so that HyDE's scripts and waybar's
|
|
hyprland modules work unmodified.
|
|
|
|
This package installs beside the distribution's COSMIC rather than over it. Its
|
|
binaries are hyprcosmic-comp, hyprcosmic-session and hyprcosmic-conf, and it
|
|
adds one session entry; the stock COSMIC entry stays on the greeter's menu,
|
|
served by the distribution's own binaries, so a session that will not start is
|
|
one logout away from a desktop that will.

|
# Desktop Entry Specification registers keys for application launchers and this
|
|
# is a session file. The copy Fedora already ships as cosmic-session-1.5.0-1.fc44
|
|
# fails the identical check -- so this is the validator's gap, not something the
|
|
# fork introduced. Dropping the key would satisfy the validator and break the

# a login fails.
