Adding Vinagre to Conary

Tonight during our TriLUG meeting, Ken packaged Vinagre for the first time using Conary, the distributed software management system for Linux distributions. It took him literally no more than 5 minutes to write up the recipe, cook (package) it, and send it to the repository.

Vinagre is a VNC client well integrated with GNOME , current being developed by Jonh Wendell. For those curious as to what the recipe for packaging it was, take a look:


loadRecipe('gnomepackage.recipe')
class Vinagre(GnomePackageRecipe):

    name = 'vinagre'
    version = '0.3'

    buildRequires = [
      'GConf:devel',
      'ORBit2:devel',
      'desktop-file-utils:runtime',
      'gnutls:devel',
      'gtk-vnc:devel',
      'libglade:devel',
    ]

Then it is a matter of executing:

cvc cook vinagre.recipe && cvc commit && cvc cook vinagre

If Jonh releases a new version tomorrow, say 0.4, all we have to do is edit the file vinagre.recipe and change the 3 for a 4 and execute the commands above. It doesn t get any easier than this!
