From the upstream README:

COSMIC DE is near its first alpha release. Using and testing the pre-alpha is welcome. Bugs are and breakage is expected.

Do a clean build before commenting that it's not working.

FYI, every time I touch the PKGBUILD be sure that I just spent ~45 minutes building it in a clean chroot. If it takes longer for you, then you should look into improving your build times.

I also recommend using sccache to reduce compilation times.

Expect some loose ends, not yet released. 'Super + A' and 'Super + /' for application library and launcher. one can build with an AUR helper, or with makepkg.

build with AUR helper

this avoids recompiling the rust code again and again. but does not avoid relinking the executables in case one build fails and you trigger again:

CARGO_TARGET_DIR=~/.cache/paru/cargo-target paru
build with makepkg in clean environment

advantage is if you rebuild in case it fails one time, it better remembers stuff already built.

git LFS breaks build

do not enable git lfs. it may lead to failures in cloning. last known occurrence for cosmic-greeter, reported here: https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-greeter/issues/5

Launcher doesn't work if pop-launcher is not installed. As far as I can see cosmic-launcher is just a frontend for pop-launcher. Should it be added as a dependency?

@Vixea: Ah, so that's why. I didn't have time yesterday to figure out what was going on.

Vixea commented on 2023-03-24 01:51 (UTC)

@soloturn the session will fail to start because you need to patch cosmic-session to point to /usr/lib/xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic instead of /usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic

@soloturn:

it takes hours on a slightly outdated laptop ...

Perhaps utilizing more CPU threads would help. See Makepkg: Improving compile times. I use:

MAKEFLAGS="-j$(($(nproc)+1))"

@yochananmarqos 16 min to build? you must have an impressive machine :) for me it takes hours on a slightly outdated laptop ...

PSA: This is a pre-alpha WIP. It currently builds, however is not currently in a usable state.

yochananmarqos commented on 2023-02-15 19:46 (UTC)

@soloturn: Using Mold doesn't really make the build much faster. It maybe shaved a minute off the compile time. Either way, it only takes me about 16 minutes to build this.

soloturn commented on 2023-02-15 17:32 (UTC)

added yochananmarqos as maintainer.

It's building now with the latest commit, but the package() function is...not functional.

==> Starting package()...
error: Justfile does not contain recipe `install`.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Building package [cosmic-git] failed.
      Cleaning up.

For now, the package() function could be something like this:

package() {
  cd "$srcdir/cosmic-epoch"
  cp -r cosmic-sysext/* "$pkgdir/"

  mv "$pkgdir/usr/libexec/xdg-desktop-portal-cosmic" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/"
  rm -rf "$pkgdir/usr/libexec/"
}

Logging in to a COSMIC session from GDM just produces a grey screen for me so far.
