[opensuse-factory] compiz-fusion and 10.3
by Martin Schlander 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

As feature freeze is drawing closer and compiz-fusion have yet to release I'm wondering what will be done here. Will compiz-fusion(-git) move into factory before feature freeze? Is it possible to assert some kind of pressure on David R. to push release in time for 10.3? ;-) Or will we ship 10.3 with some tired old compiz, just to see Compiz-fusion release a week or two after 10.3? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Alpha 6: Firmware test x86_64 broken?
by Andreas Vetter 23 Jul '07

23 Jul '07

Hi, is it just me, or is Firmware Test from x86_64 and i386 DVD broken? It starts, falls back to ncurses and says in a red box: An error occured during installation. This happens on 2 different 64bit machines. The firmware test in alpha5 x86_64 works. -- Andreas Vetter Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

It should probably be renamed. Yes, I had misunderstood the new stucture. I thought there was only one project now, "compiz-fusion" - and that David R. was a principle developer of that, who might be able to pull some strings and give us some extra consideration. I realize now this is not how it works at all. One of the reasons I asked is that for 10.2 some Novell projects released with rather unfortunate timing from openSUSE perspective - iirc both Banshee and Mono released new versions very shortly after openSUSE feature-freeze. Personally I don't care about any of those projects, but I care about openSUSE and it seemed silly that there was no coordination. I was hoping we could avoid a repeat. But since the release of compiz + compiz-extra is not under our control at all, I'm just wasting people's time. So all I'm left with is just to express my hopes that we can ship both compiz(-core) _and_ compiz-extra with 10.3. I guess the new settings manager is in -extra... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

Adding > him to CC so he can comment on that. Compiz-extra will be dropped from that repo. Compiz-Fusion will consist of following: 1. compiz-fusion-plugins-main 2. compiz-fusion-plugins-extra 3. compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported 4. CompizConfig-Settings-Manager (ccsm) containing gconf and kconfig backends 5. libcompizconfig (ccsm dep and provides ccp plugin for ini backend) 6. compizconfig-python (ccsm dep) > compiz is right now as new as it can be. I tried to wait for the new > release, but that took too long, so I went for a git snapshot. It > hopefully is stable enough. Unfortunately compiz package in X11:XGL need some more work, I am not sure gconf schemas are applied right and default settings(decoration, opensuse logo etc) patches actually work. I will move fusion etc there once I am happy with compiz package there. gnome-xgl-settings might need to be updated or improved so that it can dynamically recognize all the plugins and offer settings options the way ccsm does or drop it completely in favor of ccsm or use it just to activate and deactivate Xgl. It might also be good idea to offer choice to switch between Xgl/Nvidia/AIGLX with smart default. I felt compiz-git package from home:cyberorg worked much better with ccp (ini/flatfile backend) when configured with ccsm. I have updated all the packages in home:cyberorg to todays git checkout of both compiz and compiz-fusion/community packages. To test those packages run this in shell as root: rpm -e compiz compiz-gnome compiz-kde zypper sa http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/SUSE_Factory* cftest zypper in compiz-git-all (this will pull all the required packages) once everything is downloaded and installed as user launch compiz as follows: compiz --replace ccp& ccsm & Enable "Decoration" plugin and add gtk-window-decorator as command option there. *http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/openSUSE_10.2/ if using 10.2 ** With zypper broken on factory, you may have to manually enable the repo from /etc/zypper/repo.d/cftest.repo by adding enabled=1 and manually run zypper refresh cftest. Although there has not been any 'official' release of fusion packages yet, packages from git work quite well, I would love to have them in 10.3. > Also I do not know right now how far we are already in the process of > eventually adding packages built by the openSUSE community (Cyberorg is > not working for SUSE) to our distributions. 1 Million downloads in 4 months, if statistic over at Build Service is to be believed, makes a strong point that packages from X11:Xgl should be incorporated in 10.3.

[opensuse-factory] java plugin for firefox on x86_64, alpha6
by Silviu Marin-Caea 22 Jul '07

Is this supposed to work right now? Or is it still work in progress with the plugin wrapper... At least a very positive thing is that java in Konqueror does work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
