1. Debian packaging of xfce4

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

2. Build Order

xfce4 build order with build-depends:

• gtk2-engines-xfce - only gtk

Currently we're building 4.0.6 everywhere and tracking its progress here. Bear with us.

• libxfce4util -- Uploaded builds for ia64, mips, mipsel and s390 needed.

  • 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

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.

Need to release 4.0.6

Need to fix:

• Hurd bits
  • well PATH_MAX depends on upstream now and they say they've fixed it. (fixed in 4.0.6)
  • The segfaulting occurs on Linux too. Sent upstream for now.
• The make everything use sensible-browser and other such debianisms in the xfce4rc and the menu bugs. (part done)

Never ending task:

• general triage
