= Debian packaging of xfce4 =

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

= 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. Sadly I think for 4.0.x they'll ship as they are.

== Outstanding issues with the 4.2 packages ==

 * Madkiss' xfdesktop package doesn't quite work as expected partly due to an upstream bug and partly benny's menu-method stuff. This is ''fixed'' by me in my version -2 on my site. I need Madkiss to sign off on it though.
 * Few debianisation issues persist (changing things like mozilla to sensible-browser etc in the panel)
 * Madkiss' xfce4-mcs-plugins package is compiled against the wrong package name of library on people.debian.org (a simple recompile fixes this).

= Build Order =

xfce4 build order with build-depends:

 * gtk2-engines-xfce

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.

 * '''libxfce4util'''
  * '''libxfcegui4'''
  * '''libxfce4mcs'''
   * '''xfce-mcs-manager'''
    * xfce-mcs-plugins
    * xfce4-iconbox
    * xfce4-utils
    * xfdesktop4
    * xffm4
    * xfprint4
    * xfwm4
    * xfcalendar
    * '''xfce4-panel'''
     * xfce4-mixer
     * xfce4-systray
     * xfce4-themes
     * xfce4-toys
     * xfce4-trigger-launcher

 * xfce4-session

Because buildds are broken and don't check versioned 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.

= Bugs =

[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=xfce4,libxfcegui4,libxfce4mcs,libxfce4util,xfce-mcs-manager,xfce-mcs-plugins,xfwm4,xffm4,xfdesktop4,xfce4-panel,xfce4-iconbox,xfce4-utils,xfprint4,xfcalendar,xfce4-mixer,xfce4-themes,xfce4-systray,xfce4-toys,xfce4-trigger-launcher,xfce4-session Bug list on Debian BTS]

Never ending task: ;)

Mail sent to Rudy Godoy and the bugs asking about these. No movement since April.
 ''Rudy's made packages but we need to get these uploaded. I'll start my delicate persuasion again I think :)''
