FYI: OpenSUSE package available via OBS.

[pallaswept]

I have packaged the client software for openSUSE

TL;DR:

Firefox addon:

From the firefox addons website as usual

Client software 1-click install:

Tumbleweed
Leap 15.5

Client software download page:

https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Apallaswept%3Abranches%3Apipewire-screenaudio&package=pipewire-screenaudio
In case you'd prefer to manually install it, there are commands there you can copypaste, or you can download the RPM packages.

About

This package is held on a branch of my personal repository on the public OpenBuildService server, especially for pipewire-screenaudio. I've branched it from my main repository so you can add this one and won't have any concerns about accidentally installing other packages which I build.

It does also exist (in fact it is a link of the package) on my personal repository, so you can get it from there if you prefer - but this special branch for this project, is the 'official' spot to get it.

I am building from the main tree, but it is versioned as per the latest tagged release. So, this is really 'pipewire-screenaudio-git'. If you would like a proper tagged-release version of the package, just reply here and let me know - but I figure using the latest patches is the way to go, so that's just the way I've rolled it.

I will be using this software extensively, so if there are any problems with the git build, I'll roll back this package to the most recent working commit. If you come across any issues with the project's latest commit(s) and I haven't already rolled it back, again just reply here and let me know. Likewise if there is a recent commit and I haven't updated it yet, just let me know.

You're very welcome to branch it or copy it or outright 'steal' it, I don't care, there's no copyright or whatever on any of my work on this. If you have any suggestions or improvements or anything in mind, please do let me know and I'll get right on it.

Can you contact me on Matrix, please? :)

Can you contact me on Matrix, please? :)

I don't have a matrix account but I do need to create one so I'll get on it ASAP!

@pallaswept Great, send a message to one of the channels in our server, and I'll reach out to you.

[pallaswept]

@IceDBorn sorry I've ghosted you on this, it's entirely unintentional and out of my control, but my apologies regardless. I've had some health problems. Please don't be concerned, but I felt like you deserved an explanation. I've just made a matrix account so I'll be in touch very soon.

[IceDBorn]

@pallaswept First and foremost, I hope you're feeling better… Do not worry that much, we're all doing this on our free time, there's no need to fret over it.

[pallaswept]

...and now you know why I didn't have (and no longer have) a matrix account. Hit me up here if you need me and I'll help out any way I can.... Except join social media platforms again lol.

@pallaswept We can publish the package, if you're still interested in maintaining it.

[pallaswept]

For sure! I noticed the rust commits recently and was intending to start on packaging that.

If you'd like, you can start an account on OBS and make a repository, make an empty package, and then you can add me as a maintainer, and then I can push updates but you'd be the owner and have approval and all that. Basically works like a PR here on github.

I'll try creating one before Sunday...
