Pipewire 0.3.77

Closes #56

[jacobgkau]

This is working fine so far, but we need to fix the i386 build for it to not have issues installing on systems with 32-bit libraries (e.g. Steam).

[mmstick]

I've not successfully figured out how to get systemd to install on i386 with our sbuild CI script. May need a tweak to our systemd packaging. It seems to demand to install chrony even though systemd-timesyncd should satisfy the time-daemon dependency.

[jacobgkau]

systemd-timesyncd should satisfy the time-daemon dependency.

When we moved the Chrony dependency from pop-desktop to systemd (to fix time sync on Ubuntu installations after we made our systemd-timesyncd package do nothing), I think we went with a hard dependency on Chrony only for systemd due to an apt bug with or-dependencies at the time, looking back at https://github.com/pop-os/systemd/pull/33.

I am confused why this would be an issue now but not for https://github.com/pop-os/pipewire/pull/55 last month when the Chrony change was back in April.

[mmstick]

It's been a little over a month since our last pipewire update. I think this is the only package that has systemd as a dependency.

[mmstick]

I'll make a PR so that chrony's not required for i386.

[jacobgkau]

We're depending on Ubuntu's Chrony build, which doesn't have an i386 build, but what's confusing is that if Chrony missing for i386 was the issue, then Ubuntu would have had to drop the i386 build of it within the last month since https://github.com/pop-os/pipewire/pull/55. Otherwise, something else changed to break this.

[mmstick]

It's probably fine for Ubuntu because <time-daemon> is also provided by systemd-timesyncd and ntp.

[mmstick]

The systemd change worked. i386 is built now.
