sddm2rpm

A simple script to genrate rpms from sddm theme tar files from pling.

Background

When using this one a read-only distro like OpenSUSE MicroOS or Fedora Kinonite, you can't install sddm theme's through the KCM as /usr/share is readonly. My solution for this was sddm2rpm a tool that reads the archives used by KDE plasma and the pling store to produce a working rpm that allows the sddm theme to be install and configured in the KCM.

Building

I recommend using toolbox for building sddm2rpm as it is preinstalled on OpenSUSE MicroOS and Fedora Kinoite.

Dependencies

You will need rust as well as gcc or clang.

cargo install --path ~/sddm2rpm/

or

cargo install sddm2rpm

for stable releases.

If you want to host rpms produced by this project I recomend using the --output-spec option to produce a working spec file you can use to produce rpms in open build service & copr.
