1. Debian packaging of xfce4

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

This page might be out of date. Try the alioth lists if you're looking for a real update or mail me.

2. Plan for 4.2

4.2 has packages in experimental. We need the 4.2.2 release really so I think we've missed sarge.

3. xfce4-goodies

See the [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-xfce/ pkg-xfce project on alioth] for work on those.

4. Build Order

xfce4 build order with build-depends:

Also see: http://people.debian.org/~igloo/status.php?email=huggie%40earth.li

The lovely tick is to be used when we're uploading in stages and want to track issues.

gtk2-engines-xfce
xfce4-icon-theme
xfce4 (the meta package)
libxfce4util
- libxfcegui4
- libxfce4mcs
  - xfce4-appfinder
  - xfce-mcs-manager
    - xfce4-session
    - xfce-mcs-plugins
    - xfce4-iconbox
    - xfce4-utils
    - xffm4
    - xfprint4
    - xfwm4
    - xfcalendar
    - xfce4-panel
      - xfdesktop4
      - xfce4-mixer
      - xfce4-systray
      - xfwm4-themes
      - xfce4-toys
      - xfce4-trigger-launcher

If you are building this yourself then you'll want to build the bits in bold and install them as you go and then build the bits at each level.

When we upload to the buildds we rely on appropriate dep-waiting.

-Because buildds are broken and don't check build-depends and do dep-wait stuff automagically the plan to get this into unstable is to upload in 5 stages (yes, 5 *sigh*) with the stuff in bold with urgency=high.
