This is under review
The new macros are not finalized and also not available in Fedora currently. Do not use these for packages yet.

Macros

Current Macros

Currently, the macros for KDE packaging are basic and still need directories appended to them constantly for files in KDE packages. Here is a table of the current macros provided:

Macro Definition Path Notes
%{_kde4_prefix} %{_prefix} /usr
%{_kde4_sysconfdir} %{_sysconfdir} /etc
%{_kde4_libdir} %{_libdir} /usr/lib[64]
%{_kde4_libexecdir} %{_libexecdir}/kde4 /usr/libexec/kde4
%{_kde4_datadir} %{_datadir} /usr/share
%{_kde4_sharedir} %{_datadir} /usr/share Why duplicate %{_kde4_datadir}?
%{_kde4_iconsdir} %{_kde4_sharedir}/icons /usr/share/icons
%{_kde4_configdir} %{_kde4_sharedir}/config /usr/share/config
%{_kde4_appsdir} %{_kde4_sharedir}/kde4/apps /usr/share/kde4/apps
%{_kde4_docdir} /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc Why is the definition not using a macro?
%{_kde4_bindir} %{_kde4_prefix}/bin /usr/bin Not %{_bindir}?
%{_kde4_sbindir} %{_kde4_prefix}/sbin /usr/sbin Not %{_sbindir}
%{_kde4_includedir} %{_kde4_prefix}/include/kde4 /usr/include/kde4 Not %{_includedir}/kde4 ?

Proposed macros

There are many directories that appear over and over in packaging KDE applications and libraries.

Directory Use Proposed Macro CMake variable Urgency Reason
%{_kde4_docdir}/HTML HTML/API documentation %{_kde4_htmldocdir} HTML_INSTALL_DIR medium Used mostly for any HTML documentation
%{_kde4_datadir}/mime/packages xdg shared-mime-info standard files %{_kde4_mimedir} XDG_MIME_INSTALL_DIR high Mimetype directory (xdg)
%{_kde4_datadir}/applications/kde4 .desktop files for applications %{_kde4_desktopdir} XDG_APPS_INSTALL_DIR high All applications need a .desktop file here (macro name could be better)
%{_kde4_configdir}.kcfg KCFG files %{_kde4_kcfgdir} KCFG_INSTALL_DIR high Most applications use KCFG for configuration
%{_kde4_libdir}/kde4 KPlugin libraries %{_kde4_plugindir} PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR high Directory for KPlugin libraries
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/services services for KDE apps (plugin metadata) %{_kde4_servicesdir} SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR high Directory for KPlugin metadata
%{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/servicetypes specs for types of services %{_kde4_servicetypesdir} SERVICETYPES_INSTALL_DIR high Directory for KPlugin metadata
%{_kde4_datadir}/dbus-1/interfaces DBus interface declarations %{_kde4_dbusifacedir} DBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR low Used outside KDE as well
%{_kde4_datadir}/dbus-1/services DBus services %{_kde4_dbusservicedir} DBUS_SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR low Used outside KDE as well
%{_kde4_sysconfdir}/kde/env scripts for user login/creation low Not used often
%{_kde4_sysconfdir}/kde/shutdown scripts to run on user logout low Not used often
%{_kde4_appsdir}/kconf_update kconf update scripts %{_kde4_kconfdir} KCONF_UPDATE_INSTALL_DIR low Not used often; kconf is known to not work 100% anyways
%{_kde4_datadir}/autostart session start .desktop files AUTOSTART_INSTALL_DIR low Not used often
%{_kde4_datadir}/sounds sounds (notifications) %{_kde4_sounddir} SOUND_INSTALL_DIR medium Convenience; kde-look packages mainly
%{_kde4_datadir}/mimelnk KDE3 mime data MIME_INSTALL_DIR low KDE3; why do KDE4 apps still use this?
%{_kde4_datadir}/applnk unused? low Looks mostly unused, delete it altogether?
%{_kde4_datadir}/emoticons emoticon directory %{_kde4_emoticondir} medium Convenience; kde-look packages mainly
%{_kde4_datadir}/templates templates directory %{_kde4_templatedir} TEMPLATES_INSTALL_DIR medium Convenience; kde-look packages mainly

The old macros would become:

Macro Definition CMake variable
%{_kde4_prefix} %{_prefix} CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
%{_kde4_sysconfdir} %{_sysconfdir} SYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_libdir} %{_libdir} LIB_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_libexecdir} %{_libexecdir}/kde4 LIBEXEC_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_datadir} %{_datadir} SHARE_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_iconsdir} %{_kde4_datadir}/icons ICON_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_configdir} %{_kde4_datadir}/config CONFIG_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_appsdir} %{_kde4_datadir}/kde4/apps DATA_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_docdir} %{_docdir} Not sure...can't find it
%{_kde4_bindir} %{_bindir} BIN_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_sbindir} %{_sbindir} SBIN_INSTALL_DIR
%{_kde4_includedir} %{_includedir}/kde4 INCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR

Other CMake variable not represented by macros:

  • DATA_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/apps)
  • DEMO_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/demos)
  • LOCALE_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/locale)
  • WALLPAPER_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/wallpapers)
  • XDG_DIRECTORY_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/desktop-directories)
  • INFO_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/info)
  • MAN_INSTALL_DIR (%{_kde4_datadir}/man)

We will not bump the KDE macros API to 3 and force a rebuild of all KDE apps, as no such rebuild is required. If you want to ensure that your package gets built against a recent enough kde-filesystem, please just BR a minimum EVR of kde-filesystem.

In addition, there should be a macro to validate .desktop files since most KDE4 apps install these automatically. In order to conform to the guidelines, we should validate these files rather than manually installing each one and duplicating work. 

%_kde4_validatedesktop \
    pushd %{buildroot} \
        for file in `find -name "*.desktop"`; do \
            desktop-file-validate $file; \
        done \
    popd

Process

Here is how the migration could work (KDE-SIG approval pending)

  • Include new macros in kde-filesystem
  • File bugs against KDE4 packages to use new macros. Possible bug text:
Bug report text
The path macros for KDE4 have been updated so that more of the common directories are macros. The new macros are at <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Packaging/Cleanup#Macros>. Please update the spec file to use these new macros and close this bug when all stable branches are updated. If it is not done by <some date>, provenpackager access will be used to use the new macros. Thank you for your cooperation.
  • If no response by (some date TBD), use provenpackager to use new macros.
