Xfce4 panel plugins - GTK3 port

[Mukundan Ragavan]

Hi folks,

As many of you may be aware, Xfce development team has been busy porting
the DE to GTK-3. Today, several plugins that were ported were released -
albeit as a development release.

The plugins that were released are below -

xfce4-

battery
datetime
diskperf
fsguard
mpc
netload
smartbookmark
systemload
wavelan

-plugin



Obviously, we would want to push these releases only to rawhide, in
which case, we have ~6 months before Fedora 25 happens which **may** be
sufficient time for any "issues" to be sorted out.

Should we update to these development releases or should be wait for the
next release? I have no preference either ways and I can build these if
that's what we want to do.

Mukundan.

Hey Mukundan,

given the development speed of Xfce I would suggest, that we wait until 
the porting efforts are nearly complete and I doubt that will happen 
until f25. In my opinion it wouldn't look good if different parts of 
Xfce look and behave differently, or?

Thanks for your work,
Johannes

can you setup a copr repo for them? This way they can get some testing
and still won't slip into F-25 if not fully released upstream.

Yeah, I think a copr repo would be best. 

I'd really not want to land them in rawhide and have the next release
take longer than f25 (although I suppose its not the end of the world
if some plugins are gtk3).

OK folks, I will set up with a COPR for testing. That does sound like
the best course of action. I will post again when I have a working COPR.

Thanks for the responses.
Mukundan.
