= Plan for 4.2 =

There are currently verified Debian packages which are mostly correct of 4.2 RC1 (aka 4.1.99.1)
on http://people.debian.org/~madkiss/4.1.99.1/ and http://the.earth.li/~huggie/xfce4/

Use at your own risk.

The plan as I see it is to upload these to experimental and point people at them. Then we can
put them in unstable after sarge releases. It's ''possible'' we'll release sarge with 4.2 but
very unlikely unless sarge doesn't freeze until January ish I guess given current upstream
release plans.

xfce4-goodies are a mess and need sorting out. See the [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xfce/ pkg-xfce project on alioth] for work on those.

Did Robster adopt these then? Looks like "Rudy Godoy" may have got there first. Bugs for ITA are 224558,59,60,61,62,65,66,67,68,69 and (merged with) 245114,15,16,17,18,21,22,23,24,26.

Mail sent to Rudy Godoy and the bugs asking about these. No movement since April.

1. Debian packaging of xfce4

This is probably really dull for anyone except SimonHuggins and to an extent DanielSilverstone.

2. Plan for 4.2

There are currently verified Debian packages which are mostly correct of 4.2 RC1 (aka 4.1.99.1) on http://people.debian.org/~madkiss/4.1.99.1/ and http://the.earth.li/~huggie/xfce4/

Use at your own risk.

The plan as I see it is to upload these to experimental and point people at them. Then we can put them in unstable after sarge releases. It's possible we'll release sarge with 4.2 but very unlikely unless sarge doesn't freeze until January ish I guess given current upstream release plans.

xfce4-goodies are a mess and need sorting out. See the [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xfce/ pkg-xfce project on alioth] for work on those.

3. Build Order

xfce4 build order with build-depends:
