searchmonkey rpm release build

[secretfork]

Instaling Searchmonkey-0.3.1-1.x86_64.rpm on fedora 44 with dnf:

Running transaction
Transaction failed: Rpm transaction failed.

• file /usr/bin/rg from install of searchmonkey-0:0.3.1-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package ripgrep-14.1.1-4.fc44.x86_64

Including usr/bin/rg in %files (of the .spec file) hijacks the namespace of the well-established ripgrep utility. Proposed fix is to either bundle your own ripgrep in a separate path, or add to "Requires" in spec file to let the system pull that one instead (and remove from %files).

Thanks - I'll take a look at this.

Yeah, agree - the best solution is to stop bundling rg in native Linux packages and declare ripgrep as a runtime dependency.

For the RPM:

• I've remove the bundled sidecar from %files so Searchmonkey never owns /usr/bin/rg.
• Add Requires: ripgrep.
• On native Linux installations, execute /usr/bin/rg or resolve rg from PATH.
• Validate the ripgrep version/features at startup and show a useful error if it is missing or incompatible.

Just pushing some fixes for this next.

rpm for v0.3.3 works well, cannot speak for other packaged formats
