Colord-1.4.7

Installation of Colord

First, fix a misuse of the sqlite API causing a test failure and potential runtime crash, as well as an overly-strict systemd hardening setting causing the systemd service to fail to start:

patch -Np1 -i ../colord-1.4.7-upstream_fixes-1.patch

There should be a dedicated user and group to take control of the colord daemon after it has started. Issue the following commands as the root user:

groupadd -g 71 colord &&
useradd -c "Color Daemon Owner" -d /var/lib/colord -u 71 \
        -g colord -s /bin/false colord

Install Colord by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

meson setup ..                  \
      --prefix=/usr             \
      --buildtype=release       \
      -D daemon_user=colord     \
      -D vapi=true              \
      -D systemd=true           \
      -D libcolordcompat=true   \
      -D argyllcms_sensor=false \
      -D bash_completion=false  \
      -D docs=false             \
      -D man=false              &&
ninja

If docbook-xml-5.0, docbook-xsl-ns-1.79.2, and libxslt-1.1.42 are installed, build the man pages:

sed -e '/class="manual"/i<refmiscinfo class="source">colord</refmiscinfo>' \
    -i ../man/*.xml &&
meson configure -D man=true &&
ninja

Now, as the root user:

ninja install

To test the results, issue: ninja test. One test, colord-self-test-daemon, will fail if the package is already installed. The test suite must be run with the system-wide D-Bus Daemon running.
