Testing Xfce 4.8 pre 2 packages available

[Christoph Wickert]

Hi there,

I have packaged Xfce 4-8 pre 2 for Fedora 14 and Rawhide. You can find
the packages at

http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/cwickert/xfce-4.8/

The repo is far from complete. ATM it is still rsyncing and Fedora 13 is
still building. Also a couple of applications that need a rebuild (e.g.
xfce4-mixer) are missing and so are most of the goodies. I will continue
to work on this.

For more information on Xfce 4.8 in Fedora, please take a look at the
feature page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Xfce48

Feedback welcome!

Regards,
Christoph

P.S.: The old repo at http://cwickert.fedorapeople.org/repo is gone.

Thanks!

Should I report missing deps?

Hey,

I tried starting to work on the missing things, which are mostly 
panel-plugins. The problem is that most/many of them aren't ported to 
the new xfce framework.
I would suggest let upstream first fix these issues and package it 
afterwards.
I don't think that we should do the same work twice, or? Of course we 
could support upstream if we could provide patches but I don't have the 
experience to do this...

There is already a thread on the xfce-mailing-list:
http://foo-projects.org/pipermail/xfce4-dev/2010-December/028441.html

Greetings,

Johannes

yum --enablerepo=XFCE4.8 groupinstall XFCE.

display applet doesn't open

Not necessary, I am aware of it, that's why it is not in rawhide yet.

If somebody has the time to go through all the panel plugins and see if
they still build, a list of the failed ones is appreciated.

Thanks,
Christoph
