To Rensel: a request for the AUR branch of E17 packages...

Could you please rename the e17 group in the Community repo to something like e17-stable or e17-snapshot? The incompatible between the Community repo and your and Nickm's repos is rather annoying.

I was actually going to change the group naming in my unofficial repository (merge efl and e17 into e17-cvs) to prevent conflicts between [community] and it, but I had no intention to rename the e17 group in community. Community packages are meant to be moved to [extra] when stable versions are released, and e17 is the most obvious name for their group. Furthermore, Nickm's packages are rebuilt every day, while I would need to rebuild some just to change the group they belong to.
I think it would be better if Nickm renamed his e17 group to e17-cvs. This way only his UUR and mine will be incompatible, but I doubt anyone would use both the repos.

So... which one to use now? The community one, yours or nickm's?

rensel · 2005-06-17 17:05:07

Well, community has just the freedesktop.org snapshots and many useful apps are missing, so use it if you just want to give E17 a try.
Nickm's repo has CVS packages updated daily. Use it if you want to have always the most up-to-date stuff.
My unofficial repo contains CVS packages updated 1 to 3 times a month, and only packages for apps and libs whose code has actually been modified are rebuilt. Use it if you want to update E just from time to time.

I think I'll end up using yours as nickm's altough worked good on my last installation is just painfully slow. And i noticed some stuff missing from the community one.

Thanks.

I'll go with Nickm's, I think, since it has Elation, Euphoria, and of course e17genmenu. Problem is, NickM has a really, really annoying habit of removing packages from his DB if they aren't updated to the same version number as all the others. :evil:

I agree that nickm's repo should be e17-cvs, i was having this issues and ended commenting community first and nickms later, so, i had to dual pacman -Syu.

Also, if the community is to be made official someday, why it has so few parts of E17? are the snapshots at freedesktop.org considered more stable or something?

Gullible Jones · 2005-06-17 21:10:50

Good point... E17 is supposed to be a light desktop environment, like XFCE, as opposed to a WM with modules. When E17 goes official, there will be a lot more than what's in the AUR...

I suppose they will add more snapshots on enlightenment.freedesktop.org in the future - at least the engrave library, e_utils and e_modules would be useful. I don't want to add CVS packages to Community.
