Hi.

We should replace Beaver, the default (early) advanced editor for LXDE, with Mousepad. Reasons are: No, we shouldn't. Mousepad does not have any upstream maintainer (Nick just released a snapshot of the repo one and a half years ago) and the version in X11:xfce is an unfinished, unstable development snapshot which I have intentionally not submitted back into Factory.

And how about geany? Is it unmaintained too? It is still a light alternative. I've been using it in a netbook for a while and it starts fast and works fine. To me it is better than a broken Beaver even if it uses more memory. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I'd prefer Geany over gedit because it seems to be lighter, starts faster and looks more integrated because it is GTK2 too. Leafpad is the lightest but it has no syntax highlighting and it is very basic. Anyway, I think that Leafpad could be the best alternative because a) It is the lightest and fastest, b) It is the default LXDE editor, and c) it is the smallest in size, which is nice in order to not increase the DVD image size adding Geany. Users can choose their preferred editor for more advanced tasks later. It is really a pity that Mousepad is not maintained because it would be the perfect choice... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
