Unable to install nwg-shell on Fedora 39

[ekremkaraca]

Hi,

When I run the command below to install nwg-shell, I got the error below. It seems there are dependencies not available for Fedora 39. Can you make them available for it?

# dnf install nwg-shell

 Problem: conflicting requests
  - nothing provides nwg-drawer needed by nwg-shell-0.5.23-1.fc39.noarch from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:tofik:nwg-shell
  - nothing provides nwg-menu needed by nwg-shell-0.5.23-1.fc39.noarch from copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:tofik:nwg-shell
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Sorry, but Fedora maintainers seem to have dropped further work on nwg-shell as a whole. I haven't heard from them for months.

Personally I don't do any packaging other than for Arch Linux (AUR). You can try and get in touch with @kuba3351 or other package maintainers. In case it fails, please let me know: I'll remove Fedora from the Wiki.

@kuba3351 thanks for reply, maybe we should ask @t0fik who runs copr repo.

Which packages are missing? I'll add them to my copr

[kuba3351]

There are no missing packages, just nwg-drawer and nwg-menu does not have a build for Fedora 39 so, it is not possible to install nwg-shell on Fedora 39 without using these packages compiled for f38

[t0fik]

I've missed package naming problem with nwg-drawer package. In an hour everything should work perfectly. Never less packages should be forked from f38 to f39 repositories and running f38 on f39 shouldn't be a problem.

@t0fik yep, I can now install nwg-shell properly. Thanks so much!

Hate to be that guy but I can't get it to install on Fedora 40

Please activate this copr also and it should install fine: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mochaa/gtk-session-lock/

[t0fik]

gtk-session-lock by mochaa is on the way to be part of official Fedora repositories, so this dependency might be temporary.
