I hope he recovers well and soon, at least for his sake.] So, I think that there are two options: one, perhaps a long-term one would be to add code that allows for reading .jxl files. That is doable and a lot of work, but might only be transient as Fedora moves to something else down the road. So, I was thinking of using magick to convert the file to a png while the rpm was being built. Might not be kosher anyway, but I brought in ImageMagick as a BuildRequire, and replaced: ln -s ../../../backgrounds/f%{?fedora}/default/f%{?fedora}-01-day.png %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/themes/default/background.png with: magick ../../../backgrounds/f%{?fedora}/default/f%{?fedora}-01-day.jxl convert %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/%{name}/themes/default/background.png I don't know why this creates the following error: magick ../../../backgrounds/f42/default/f42-01-day.jxl /home/localuser/rpmbuild/BUILD/slim-1.4.0-build/BUILDROOT/usr/share/slim/themes/default/background.png magick: unable to open image '../../../backgrounds/f42/default/f42-01-day.jxl': No such file or directory @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/3596. error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.62ipD8 (%install) RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.62ipD8 (%install) I do not quite understand why I get this error, especially because the "ln -s" appears to find this path. Is there a way to specify the .jxl file in the spec file for magick to convert it without hardcoding it?
