Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Add xdg-desktop-portal
Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2020 01:20:24 +0200

This patch series adds xdg-desktop-portal and the xdg-desktop-portal-gtk backend.
It also adds pipewire 0.3 (which xdg-desktop-portal depends on) - I did not
update the existing pipewire package since there were packages depending on it.

xdg-desktop-portal greatly improves the usability of Flatpak-installed apps,
allowing them to open file chooser dialogs, open links, et.c. This was
requested in issue 37289.

Anders Thuné (4):
  gnu: Add pipewire-0.3.
  gnu: Add libportal.
  gnu: Add xdg-desktop-portal.
  gnu: Add xdg-desktop-portal-gtk.

Hi,

Sorry about that. The system seems to have been a bit clogged yesterday
so I had to go to sleep before I got the issue number. Because I wasn't
sure if my mail had been received properly, I also accidentally opened a
duplicate at 42349. Can I delete that somehow?

I'm sending the rest of the patch series.

Regards,
Anders Thuné

It would be nice if you could check as a followup whether we can just
upgrade ‘pipewire’ to 0.3.  See ‘guix refresh -l pipewire <at> 0.2’ for the
list of dependents to rebuild.

You would still need to make it a dependency of Flatpak though, no?

I took the liberty to tweak descriptions according to our guidelines:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Synopses-and-Descriptions.html

Applied, thanks!

I checked, `mutter` currently depends on pipewire 0.2 and does
not build with 0.3.

All that's needed is for xdg-desktop-portal and a backend to be installed
in the profile alongside flatpak. To improve the user experience, I
guess it would be good to make them a propagated dependency, yes. I
didn't do so myself since I wasn't sure if it was worth propagating
extra packages which aren't strictly necessary.

Great, thanks!
