| 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). |
