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:

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

• 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
        • xfce4-themes
        • xfce4-toys
        • xfce4-trigger-launcher

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.

4. Bugs

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 :)
