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

Line 13: Line 14:
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.

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.
Line 51: Line 50:
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. When we upload to the buildds we rely on appropriate dep-waiting.

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

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.
