Three things, one delivery path — a Fedora/Nobara box getting the patched gamescope. **The pin moves 8c676c39 -> 5fb8dce4** (3.16.25-1 -> 3.16.25-11). The commit that matters is ff6b924, `rendervulkan: fall back to XBGR2101010 when XRGB2101010 is unsupported`: it probes `linearTilingFeatures` for STORAGE+SAMPLED and captures as XBGR2101010 where A2R10G10B10 linear storage is unavailable — which is every NVIDIA. That covers the paths that are upstream's rather than ours: the RGB intermediate `paint_pipewire()` acquires when the stream is YCbCr, and AVIF screenshots. #143 fixed our own node host-side; this is the other half, and its commit message asked for exactly this bump. All six patches rebased. Only 0006 conflicted: upstream's f8be7ee added `vulkan_has_drm_modifiers_for_features()` immediately above the `g_device` declaration our patch turns into a reference — both kept. 0003 and 0005 come out byte-identical; 0006 also picks up the `--zero-commit --no-signature` form 0001-0005 already used. **Patch 0001 now offers `xBGR_210LE` BEFORE `xRGB_210LE`**, mirroring the host-side `HDR_FORMAT_ORDER` rationale on the producer end. A consumer takes the first pod it can use, and we were handing third-party consumers (OBS and friends) the one format NVIDIA fills byte-reversed under a correct-looking label. Deliberately NOT done by calling upstream's `vulkan_get_rgb10_capture_format()`, which is what pw_pods.rs proposes: that symbol landed after 3.16.25, so it would break `packaging/nix/gamescope.nix` — which applies these patches to whatever gamescope nixpkgs pins — with an opaque C++ error instead of a patch conflict. The reorder gets the same outcome on any base. Note added there so the next reader does not "fix" it. **And the RPM was never signed.** `Sign RPMs` runs right after `Build RPM`; the gamescope RPM is built ~90 steps later, behind its own ~10-minute cache, so it missed the signing pass entirely — every punktfunk-gamescope RPM ever published went out unsigned. The repo file we tell users to install carries `gpgcheck=1`, so `dnf install punktfunk-gamescope` failed with "The package is not signed" on every Fedora and Nobara box. The package was in the channel the whole time and could not be installed from it, which is worse than absent: the notes and the docs-site both say it is there. `sign-rpms.sh` now takes explicit paths (defaulting to `dist/*.rpm` as before) and a second pass signs this one before publish, fail-closed on a tag like the first. Verified on Nobara 44 (VM 123, RTX 5070 Ti passthrough), canary 0.27.0-0.ci12611.g516a2954: * Builds clean in the fc44 CI image; banner `3.16.25-17-ga87390d+pfhdr4` (11 upstream + our 6), so the marker the host probes still reads 4 — no capability moved, hence pkgrel 3 and `.pfhdrN` staying put. * `pw-cli enum-params` on the live node: BGRx, NV12, **xBGR_210LE (81), xRGB_210LE (80)** — 8-bit consumers still negotiate bit-for-bit, 10-bit now leads with the safe one. * All four patched flags present, `--pipewire-composite-external-overlay` included. * Patch 0006 confirmed working by comparison, which is the only way to see it: the new build exits 0 where both the pre-0006 `+pfhdr2` build and the stock 3.16.23.2 abort with 134. * Signing fix proven with a throwaway key: `Signature: (none)` -> `digests signatures OK`. * Host health on the canary: synthetic spike 300/300 encoded, loopback 300 recovered, 0 mismatches. One unexplained one-off: the very first headless run after install segfaulted at exit (SIGSEGV, after "Primary child shut down!"). Not reproduced in 11 subsequent runs across every flag combination, so it is recorded rather than diagnosed — the binary is stripped and there is no symbolised core.
punktfunk-host — RPM (Bazzite / Fedora Atomic) via the Gitea registry
punktfunk-host is published as an RPM to Gitea's RPM package registry in the public unom
org (stable groups bazzite/fedora-44, canary groups bazzite-canary/fedora-44-canary), so
Bazzite / Fedora Atomic hosts layer and update it with rpm-ostree. CI (.gitea/workflows/rpm.yml)
builds and publishes on every push to main (a rolling <next-minor>-0.ciN.g<sha> build — the base
is derived from the latest stable tag by scripts/ci/pf-version.sh — to the *-canary
groups) and on vX.Y.Z tags (a clean X.Y.Z-1 to the base groups, plus attached to the unified
Gitea Release) — separate repos, so a stable box never jumps to a canary build (see
Release Channels). The baseurl below subscribes to the
bazzite stable group; use bazzite-canary for the latest main builds. The RPM is built in the
Fedora 43 image (ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile) so its auto-generated library Requires
(libavcodec.so.NN, …) match Bazzite's sonames; the NVIDIA driver lib (libcuda.so.1) is
excluded — NVENC/EGL come from whatever NVIDIA stack the host runs (a weak Recommends).
This is the same package as the COPR / bootc
paths — same spec (punktfunk.spec) — just self-hosted in Gitea instead of COPR, mirroring the
Debian/apt setup.
Install on a Bazzite host (one-time)
# Add the repo. Packages are GPG-signed (gpgcheck=1, the packages@unom.io key) AND the repo
# metadata is Gitea-signed (repo_gpgcheck=1); gpgkey lists both so dnf/rpm-ostree imports each.

REPO
# Layer the host + the web console (pairing/status), then reboot into the new deployment.
# (punktfunk Recommends punktfunk-web; list it explicitly so it's pulled regardless of weak-dep
# settings. The registry carries punktfunk-web because CI builds the spec --with web; COPR can't.)
rpm-ostree install punktfunk punktfunk-web
systemctl reboot
If
rpm-ostreecan't complete the metadata GPG check non-interactively, setrepo_gpgcheck=0(TLS-only trust to the self-hosted registry).
Per-package signing (gpgcheck=1, active)
CI GPG-signs every RPM: packaging/rpm/sign-rpms.sh (run from rpm.yml between build and publish)
signs with the dedicated EdDSA key packages@unom.io (AF245C506F4E4763) and self-verifies
with rpmkeys --checksig before publishing, so an unsigned/bad build never reaches the registry.
The public key is served from the registry (the gpgkey= URL above) and committed at
packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk. (This is a GPG/OpenPGP key — a step-ca/X.509 cert can't
sign RPMs; step-ca is only for registry/console TLS.)
RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEYis an org-level secret onunom, not a repo secret — it will not show up under this repository's Actions secrets. Verify it end to end instead of by its absence there:curl -O <repo-url>/package/punktfunk-web/<ver>/x86_64/…rpm && rpm -qp --qf '%{RSAHEADER:pgpsig}\n'(orrpmkeys --checksig, which reportsNOKEYuntil you import the public key —NOKEYstill means signed, just by a key that box doesn't have yet).
On a v* tag build, a missing key fails the build: sign-rpms.sh will not publish unsigned
RPMs into a repo whose own instructions say gpgcheck=1, because every user's dnf upgrade would
then break on them. Non-release builds still fall through unsigned so forks and local builds work.
How it was set up (and how to rotate the key):
# 1. Generate a DEDICATED, passphrase-less signing key (separate from the Gitea metadata key).
gpg --batch --gen-key <<EOF
%no-protection
Key-Type: eddsa
Key-Curve: ed25519
Name-Real: punktfunk packages
Name-Email: packages@unom.io

%commit
EOF
gpg --armor --export-secret-keys packages@unom.io # -> the RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY CI secret
gpg --armor --export packages@unom.io > packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk # public half
# 2. Add the armored PRIVATE key as the RPM_GPG_PRIVATE_KEY Gitea Actions secret, at the ORG level
# (git.unom.io/org/unom/settings/actions/secrets) so every repo's workflows inherit it. Commit
# the public half and publish it to the registry so the gpgkey= URL resolves:
curl --user "<user>:<write:package-PAT>" --upload-file packaging/rpm/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk \
https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/generic/punktfunk-keys/1/RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk
Rotating the key means a new generic-registry version (bump punktfunk-keys/1 → /2 and the
gpgkey= URL), since the registry rejects re-uploading an existing file.
This key also signs the Bazzite sysext feed, and a third copy of its public half is baked into
packaging/bazzite/punktfunk-sysext.sh (FEED_KEY=) — that script is bootstrapped by curl on
machines that have nothing installed yet, so it can't fetch the key from the thing it's
authenticating. A rotation must update all three: the CI secret, this directory's
RPM-GPG-KEY-punktfunk (+ its registry upload), and FEED_KEY. publish-sysext-feed.sh compares
its signing key's fingerprint against FEED_KEY and refuses to sign on a mismatch, so forgetting
the third one fails the publish instead of stranding every Bazzite box in front of a feed it
can't verify.
After reboot, as the desktop user:
ujust add-user-to-input-group # virtual gamepads need /dev/uinput (re-login).
# Bazzite is atomic — use ujust, NOT `usermod -aG input`.
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk/host.env.bazzite ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env # gamescope defaults
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host
# Web console — enable it and read the auto-generated login password (then open https://<host-ip>:47992):
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-web
journalctl --user -u punktfunk-web-init | sed -n 's/.*password generated: //p'
(See ../bazzite/README.md for the full appliance walkthrough —
udev/group, host.env, the Steam session unit, firewall, verify.)
Updates
rpm-ostree upgrade # pulls the newest punktfunk with the system update
systemctl reboot # rpm-ostree changes apply on reboot
Layered packages are re-resolved against their repos on every rpm-ostree upgrade, so the box
tracks new builds automatically (Bazzite's auto-update timer does this for you). To pin or stop
tracking: rpm-ostree override / rpm-ostree uninstall punktfunk.
Build an RPM locally
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh # host + client
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 PF_WITH_WEB=1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh # + punktfunk-web (needs bun on PATH)
# -> dist/punktfunk-0.0.1-1.fcNN.x86_64.rpm (+ punktfunk-web-0.0.1-1.fcNN.x86_64.rpm with PF_WITH_WEB=1;
# the web subpackage vendors a bun binary, so it's arch-specific, not noarch)
Run it inside the Fedora 43 builder image so the deps resolve and match Bazzite:
docker build -f ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile -t punktfunk-fedora-rpm ci
docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src punktfunk-fedora-rpm \
bash -lc 'git config --global --add safe.directory /src && PF_VERSION=0.0.1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh'
A plain rpmbuild/COPR build with no pf_version/pf_release defines produces 0.3.0-1 (the
spec defaults).
aarch64 — the client RPM
The client builds for aarch64; the host does not (its encode stack is NVENC/QSV/AMF, all
x86). PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 drops the host binary, the tray, the headless-session data, the
firewalld services and the main package's %files, leaving exactly one RPM: punktfunk-client.
Omitting the main %files is what keeps rpm from emitting an empty punktfunk next to it.
This is not a cross-compile — %build runs cargo for the host architecture, so run it on an
arm64 machine (or an emulated arm64 container, which is very slow):
docker build --platform linux/arm64 -f ci/fedora-rpm.Dockerfile -t punktfunk-fedora-rpm-arm64 ci
docker run --rm --platform linux/arm64 -v "$PWD:/src" -w /src punktfunk-fedora-rpm-arm64 \
bash -lc 'git config --global --add safe.directory /src && \
PF_VERSION=0.0.1 PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 bash packaging/rpm/build-rpm.sh'
# -> dist/punktfunk-client-0.0.1-1.fcNN.aarch64.rpm
PF_WITHOUT_HOST=1 works on x86_64 too, if you only want the client RPM. The flag is orthogonal
to the architecture; it is just that aarch64 has no other option.
