All,
After a trial run involving a COPR repo [1], I had written earlier indicating that I started doing real builds of Xfce 4.12 packages for EL-7 [2]. This is now complete and I have now submitted a update - a mega update containing 53 packages total.
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-262a3f39e1
Three points about the update -
- libxfce4ui obsoletes libxfcegui4 (plugins using libxfcegui4 were never built for EL-7)
- xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin obsoletes xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed (xfce4-volumed is not even in the repos)
- xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin uses pavucontrol as sound mixer which is unavailable in EL-7 at the moment.
I have tested both upgrading a user configured Xfce 4.10 install and by creating a new user. I did not notice any issues so far.
Please enable epel-testing repo on a test machine, test these packages and give karma on bodhi. I have set the stable karma to 12. Unless the karma reaches 12, I intend to leave the update in testing for **three weeks**.
Mukundan.
