Description
I am a long time Redhat fan but I am slowly moving away due to their various political stance and their association with Israel. I don't like them removing support for Xorg completely. So this is my attempt to package RPM for RHEL/Fedora users who still loves good old Xorg.
This issue is for tracking purpose. Once finished I will upload all the source and binary RPMs as attachment in this issue.

You can (should be able to) host them on copr

xgui4 commentedon Jun 27, 2025
and rpm is used by open mandivra.

If they are hostile against Xlibre I don't see any reason to host there. Also I would be careful in that platform something being injected in my buildroot.

Thats purely a community project, not even associated with fedora afaik, copr repositories are where you can manage projects that aren't part of fedoras packaging
(rstudio being the most common).
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iucar/rstudio/
stands for something like community operated package repository

COPR is managed and maintained by Fedora.

I am working on RHEL 9. I will provide the srpms. Other distros will have to modify to get it working. But in most case it should build by default.

COPR repositories are 100% managed and maintained by individual users.

If you have never worked with Fedora or Redhat please don't argue.

And don't waste my time. I don't give any shit about COPR.
And btw I am talking about the infra no repositories.

I was able to build and run Xlibre on Almalinux 9 (mock buildroot however was rocky+epel-9-x86_64) . I had to rebuild gdm and gnome-session replacing xorg dependency with xlibre. I will upload the srpms & rpms after few more tests and cleanups. Only bug I can see right now is mouse pointer being squeezed.
xgui4 commentedon Jun 28, 2025
but can we still try, that will be easier for open mandivra folk to try XLibre ...
xgui4 commentedon Jun 28, 2025
i will love that ... personally

As xgui4 mentioned, OpenMandriva has packaged Xlibre for their development branch. You may find their spec file and patches of some assistance for your work.

Squeezed mouse pointer issue is on virtio gpu and qxl have two mouse pointer, one being ghost pointer. Bochs and VGA works fine but slow.
mSparks43 commentedon Jun 30, 2025
that's actually hilarious, I wonder if openELA will pick it up

Thank you for your work on packaging XLibre for RHEL/Fedora users! I would like to move the issue to X11Libre · Discussions · GitHub since this work is only indirectly connected to the development of the XLibre Xserver.
Once you are done please consider adding your solution to Are We XLibre Yet? · X11Libre/xserver Wiki
