Hi all,
I have a COPR containing xfce 4.16 packages for EPEL-8 packages [0]. I would like to get some testing done using this COPR before getting into EPEL-8.
Please email if and when you notice problems and I will try to fix it as soon as possible.
As a reminder - xfce 4.16 will be available in F34.
Thanks, Mukundan.

Thank you very much, Mukundan, really. There's an issue with xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin: there's no pulseaudio-daemon package in centos 8 so I guess this requirement must be removed. By the way, in epel the package is the same version so maybe check its spec file.
The epel package is at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/8/Everything/x86_64/Packages/x/

Mukundan -
Just a note that as mentioned on the CentOS list here: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2021-February/353317.html
# dnf group install Xfce Last metadata expiration check: 0:02:24 ago on Mon 15 Feb 2021 03:41:53 PM MST. No match for group package "NetworkManager-gnome" No match for group package "thunar-archive-plugin"
So perhaps the comps file needs to get cleaned up?
And then possibly new with the copr seems to be:
Problem: cannot install the best candidate for the job - nothing provides pulseaudio-daemon needed by xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin-0.4.3-5.el8.x86_64
Thanks for working on Xfce for EPEL, much appreciated.

It seems that the Provides was guarded out in CentOS 8 by Wim[1]. Wim, any chance you could put it back?

Indeed. I just forgot to build thunar-archive-plugin. :(
NetworkManager-gnome just needs to be removed from comps. I will do this.
I need to update a bunch of packages on EPEL-8 anyway.

Ah, this I noticed. Hopefully, this will be fixed on pulseaudio (based on Neal's email).

Took me a while to get to this but this is done now.
thunar-archive-plugin in built on epel8/copr I have submitted a pull request to get rid of nm-gnome from xfce group.
Testing and feedback is appreciated.
Best, Mukundan.
I forgot to email about this. Here are official buils of Xfce 4.16 on EPEL8
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2021-3f7925eb01
I am hoping to push this to stable in about a week. Please test.
Your xfdesktop package requires desktop-backgrounds-compat which installs f31 backgrounds. xfdesktop 4.14 doesn't require any backgrounds package to be install at all. Maybe to keep the installation slimmer and also adequate to centos it could require centos-backgrounds instead.
