Beryl: Pkg and Src collection

PDExperiment626 · 2007-11-30 00:28:29

Hi guys, I am trying to collect pkgs and srcs for Beryl, Emerald and Aquamarine that are dated anywhere from Jan 1, 2007 to the shutting down of the beryl svn/git servers.

If you could post links and/or email me any files that fall into the above category, it would be greatly appreciated.

The reason I am requesting Beryl sources/pkgs is due to the fact that Beryl runs better on my machine than compiz-fusion does. I know fusion is still in development, but it is my understanding that the compiz-fusion guys have no intention of using the beryl core, which has always performed better for me. So, instead of hoping for the compiz-fusion to catchup to the performance of Beryl, I am collecting what Beryl data I can to maybe create a legacy depository for it.

I am not trying to start a flame war here; compiz-fusion has its merits over Beryl and vice-versa. I just want a historical depository for Beryl for those who feel the same way I do. Thanks again for your help

Mine too. I have what I think is the last set of official Arch pkgs here - 0.2.1 - including Aquamarine and Heliodor, if you want them. I'm posting here first because they amount to a pretty huge chunk of stuff to find unexpectedly in your inbox. I deliberately saved them in my home directory when I installed compiz, in case I didn't like it (I didn't).

I should have some source tarballs and PKGBUILDS in my abs tree too, but I'm not sure if they're all there.

@dunc if you are able to email me the files, that would be awesome. Although, if it's expensive on your end to send the packages, it's no problem. My email has plenty or storage left on it .

I should say what I currently have atm

beryl-*-git (20070402): Source tree and pkgbuild
emerald-themes-git (20070402): Source tree and pkgbuild
heliodor-git (20070402): Source tree and pkgbuild

So what I NEED atm is:

beryl (stable): abs tree (sources+pkgbuilds)
emerald-git (20070402): sources and pkgbuild (if you used emerald-git this may be in your /var/abs/local/yaourtbuild)
heliodor (stable): abs tree (sources+pkgbuilds)
aquamarine (stable): abs tree (sources+pkgbuilds)
aquamarine-git: sources and pkgbuild

I prefer abs source trees, but official arch packages for the stable versions are also desirable (especially 64bit packages). Thanks again!
