I don't use this package either, but will maintain it for a little while.

  • The executable is now fully lowercase forkgram
  • Package should now be installable alongside extra/telegram-desktop

If you have problems with this package:

  • Try building in a clean chroot. This rules out local config problems.
  • Flag for simple, straightforward issues, like typos, depends, updates, etc. Include relevant errors and other info in the flag message.
  • Comment for issues that require explanation or debugging. Use a pastebin for blocks of text more than a few lines.

@dreieck Making forks coexist with each other when not supported by upstream is prone to breaking. How many telegram clients do people need to install at the same time?

Conflicts on telegram-desktop needs to be put back. Attempting to install after building in clean chroot:

Maybe it makes sense to rename /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.telegram.desktop.service to /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.forkgram.desktop.service and /usr/share/icons/hicolor/symbolic/apps/telegram-symbolic.svg to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/symbolic/apps/forkgram-symbolic.svg, and change the references in the code accordingly?
(After all, the logo is different anyway.)

If not, then it maybe would make sense to make this a drop-in replacement for telegram-desktop, providing a symlink to the same executable name as telegram-desktop and same other services (if any) and shared libraries (if any), and after doing so adding telegram-desktop=${pkgver} to the provides entry?

@dreieck Makes sense, I'll remove the conflicts array.

dreieck commented on 2023-12-19 20:54 (UTC)

Why does this conflict with telegram-desktop?

The executable is /usr/bin/Forkgram, not /usr/bin/telegram-desktop.

Regards!

@archkde_combo please use 'flag out of date' instead of commenting for that

archkde_combo commented on 2023-09-07 10:09 (UTC)

Please update https://github.com/forkgram/tdesktop/releases/tag/v4.9.5

I have caught missing deps:

Program mm-common-get found: NO
Message: Maintainer mode requires the 'mm-common-get' command. If it is not found,
install the 'mm-common' package, version 1.0.0 or higher.
Program mm-common-get found: NO

glibmm-2.77.0/meson.build:145:18: ERROR: Program 'mm-common-get' not found or not executable

and

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):
  Could NOT find Boost (missing: Boost_INCLUDE_DIR program_options) (Required
  is at least version "1.58")
  1. extra/mm-common
  2. extra/boost
  3. fmtlib.net aka extra/fmt
  4. extra/gobject-introspection due to g-ir-scanner - at cmake/external/glib/generate_gir.cmake:8

I can confirm that installing these allows the build process to begin. I'm updating from 4.6.2-2. To cut it short, going forward keep a look at extra/telegram-desktop it seems to have the deps up to date.

Finally the build errors with this (if I read it correctly) ...frk-v4.9-full/Telegram/lib_ui/ui/platform/ui_platform_window_title.cpp:325:27: note: candidate expects 1 argument, 2 provided
