-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 PLEASE add as 'TO' or 'CC' PCMAN mail too. Hi lists, I have a dilemma and i need your help! let me explain the status and then let me ask questions: pcmanfm (0.5.2) is the LXDE file manager, it's fast and lightweight BUT it actually miss trash and gvfs support, in addiction it depends on FAM/GAMIN, and still use hal to mount devices. lxde developers are now developing the NEW pcmanfm (formally called pcmanfm2, but in "about" i read "pcmanfm 0.7"). This new version add lots of features, fix bugs, but most of all "remove" all the "BUTs" pcmanfm 0.5 has. I talked with PCMAN (main pcmanfm developer as you can easly guess) and looking at our Roadmap [1] (i considered M5 or M6 as last option) he sed the new pcmanfm2 should be realeased as stable) i have this question than... should openSUSE 11.3 provides pcmanfm or pcmanfm2? That is what may happen in both cases KEEP pcmanfm: 1st) Because it depends on FAM/GAMIN (and suse provides fam by default), the earlyxdm script MUST add FAM service as Required-Start (or maybe Should-Start, i don't really know where) 2nd) It will be obsolete before 11.3 will be released PROVIDE pcmanfm2 We will provide in our early Milestones releases for testing beta packages of pcmanfm2 and libfm (libfm is a pcmanfm dependency), but here i see ONLY benefits: 1st) we'll help lxde developers providing more testing (and speeding up development) 2nd) we don't need to touch earlyxdm script 3rd) we'll have a better filemanager (with gvfs and trash support and without HAL) 4th) openSUSE 11.3 SHOULD be out with the STABLE version of pcmanfm and if NOT we may use official updates to provide stable version later (has we already did with firefox and thunderbird) 5th) will be much easier maintain and fix bugs. So lists.. what is you idea here??
