Ha! What you've all been waiting for. Here's a cvs package for the cvs version of xfce.

EDIT:
Oops, my bad. Fixed the --prefix.

To get all the libraries and different parts of xfce, just change the $pkgname variable to the different component. Here's all the available components:

libxfce4util
libxfcegui4
libxfce4mcs
xfce-mcs-manager
xfce-mcs-plugins
xfce4-panel
xfwm4
xfce-utils
xfce4-modules
xffm
xfdesktop
xfce4-session
xfprint
gtk-xfce-engine-2
xfce4-iconbox
xfce4-mixer
xfce4-systray
xfce4-themes
xfce4-toys
xfce4-trigger-launcher
xffm-icons
xfwm4-themes
xfcalendar
xfce4-appfinder

Just install the libaries first, and then the rest of the components and you should be alright. Enjoy the bleeding edge of the greatest linux desktop available!

please add provides=(theCorespondingNotCVSPkg) and conflicts=(theCorespondingNotCVSPkg) to not make it conflict with the normal version

did you build all of them? how much (im MB) are the binaries? i can maybe add this to the unstable repository if enough people would like the idea, but as my bandwidth is not that huge, i would like to know how much MB i then need to handle - thanx in advance for info

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-14 15:59:16

I didn't build them all, i built the panel and its deps, and it was really buggy. I'll fix the PKGBUILD so it works how you said

I would be interested.... I am sure there are others as well.

I would rather see one big xfce4-cvs package rather than 20 small cvs ones.
It is not really in line with Arch ideas, but handling cvs packages is far more efficient this way.

Take a look at xfce4 port from CRUX repositories: it is smart and really easy to keep up to date.
However, they applied this scheme to xfce4 stable release, which I don't really understand. IMO, it fits better cvs releases which are evolving every day.

Building 20 packages makes sense when the code is quite stable and won't change every 2 or 3 days.

Another benefit in favor of an all-in-one xfce4-cvs package is that it won't clash with the xfce4 stables ones:
- It can be installed in /opt/xfce4-cvs
- No need for provides, replaces and so on...
- Just modify /etc/profile.d/xfce4.sh in order to set /opt/xfce4 or /opt/xfce4-cvs in the PATH depending on which release you want to use.

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-14 17:39:44

hmm, good idea. It won't conflict with normal xfce if it's in xfce-cvs. I think I'll do that later today. I didn't feel like making that huge PKGBUILD but I guess I will later.

one big pkg: i like the idea: sounds of less work :-)

alternative is to make a group

so your idea is that a user can have both versions installed, right?

sounds ok, but /etc/profile.d/xfce4.sh is owned by libxfce4util and this will definitely conflict with my modified version - that's where i see the problem not using provides/replaces-way

idea how to solve this?

EDIT:
it's exactly why you cannot have 2 versions of gnome or 2 versions of kde installed on one machine easily

I can make an editted version of xfce4.sh, xfce4-cvs.sh. profile.d scripts are just adding things to the PATH. No biggie. I'm working on the PKGBUILD now.

Right. Then, users would just need to chmod -x the one they don't want to use.

FYI, I've got 4.0 installed from arch pkg in /opt/xfce4, and 4.2 installed from source in /opt/xfce4-cvs.
It works nicley, excepted that $HOME/.xfce directory is not really compatible between 4.0 and 4.2: switching back and forth between both is likely to break your settings...

That's what I have so far.. That's enough for the new panel... I'll get the rest later, because I can't get this to compile... hmm.. anyone else have luck?

Zym0tiC · 2004-06-15 10:02:32

I created a script this morning to compile xfce4 from cvs with one command. The only thing is that it isn't an abs package but a normal ./configure --prefix=/opt/xfce4 && make && make install

I can post the source when i'm back home tonight

orelien · 2004-06-15 12:09:39

FYI, this script may be of some interest too:

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-15 12:32:29

Alright.. new plan.. XFCE can't be installed as one big package. It has libraries that other modules depend on to build. It would be one ugly PKGBUILD with a lot of ditry hacks if I got it in one pkg.

NEW IDEA: I'm going to make all the dependencies as individual packages (libxfce4util libxfcegui4 libxfcemcs xfce-mcs-manager xfce4-panel), and then make one big package for everything else. I'm working on it now! Don't try anything else around here because they don't work currently. I'll have the PKGBUILDS ready in no time.

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-15 12:38:18

Also: The cvs package will not be able to coexist with stable packages, the conf files are incompatible so it's not worth the trouble.

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-15 13:05:30

Here's what I have so far. I have all the dependencies, and the panel. If you want them go to http://punkrockguy318.ne1.net. They're in the xfce-cvs folder or something. I also tarbelled a package for all the PKGBUILDS. It's called xfce4-cvs.tar.gz.

But anyway, I'm having a problem. Whenever I load up xfce4-panel-cvs, it tells me it can't find the mcs libraries. They're in /opt/xfce4/lib, just like they're supposed to! /opt/xfce4/lib is in /etc/ld.so.conf, and I ran ldconfig... If i link the libraries to /usr/lib they work... But why is it doing this?[/url]

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-15 14:10:34

Alright... Almost done... I just need to create a loop that will install all of the other components... It'll be done by tonight, so just sit tight til then..

punkrockguy318 · 2004-06-15 16:31:50

Finished! There's about six packages. You can them from http://punkrockguy318.ne1.net. I have a tarbelled package of all the PKGBUILDS called xfce4-cvs-v3.tar.gz. I installed everything, and it's very buggy right now, pretty much unusable, but hey maybe it will work for somebody else!

NOTE: XFFM is broken. If you want to try compiling it, add it to the MODULES=() array in xfce4-other PKGBUILD.

What do you guys think?

orelien · 2004-06-20 15:14:57

I've managed to build an xfce4-cvs package.
