[opensuse-xfce] PROPOSAL: our own Greybird Geeko GTK theme as default
by Maurizio Galli (MauG) 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hello Geekos, I'd like to suggest our own Greybird Geeko theme as the new GTK theme for Xfce, which was introduced to Factory a month ago [1]. The theme started as a modified version of Greybird by the Shimmer Project [2] with some small openSUSE branding elements, but it gradually introduced several fixes and features, including a highly requested Dark variant of the theme. Reasons for Greybird Geeko to be default: 1) Greybird is arguably the most complete GTK theme for Xfce as it is maintained directly by Xfce developers. 2) Greybird Geeko [2] adds our own touch to an already great theme. It is maintained and developed directly by us although we collaborate closely in the Shimmer Project with Greybird, as well as elementary-xfce icon theme. A lot of effort was put in this theme and it makes sense in my opinion that we give our own identity to openSUSE Xfce. Thus I would like this to become default by the introduction of Xfce 4.14 next month.

[opensuse-xfce] Proposal: Xfce Panel Plugin to follow upstream name
by Maurizio Galli (MauG) 20 Jul '19

20 Jul '19

Hello, At the moment the Xfce Panel Plugin packages in openSUSE follow the name of xfce4-panel-plugin-foo. OTOH upstream and mainstream distributions all use xfce4-foo-plugin This causes an issue of inconsistency with upstream and also search engines. https://repology.org/project/xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin/versions vs https://repology.org/project/xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin/versions I do not know the historical reason of such difference with upstream but would like to propose changing the package names following the upstream model instead. If there isn't any objection, I would like to start this renaming work with Xfce 4.14 which is to be released by August. Best, -- Maurizio Galli (MauG) Xfce Team https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Xfce -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi there, just as an FYI: I just ran "zypper ref" and got the following: The gpg key signing file 'repomd.xml' will expire in 13 days. Repository: X11:xfce.obs Key Name: X11 OBS Project <X11(a)build.opensuse.org> Key Fingerprint: B1DA68DE 51949E7B 034237C4 BB1AF233 0F2672C8 Key Created: Wed May 24 00:13:55 2017 Key Expires: Fri Aug 2 00:13:55 2019 (expires in 13 days) Perhaps someone from the maintainers can extend the key.

[opensuse-xfce] Potentially abandoned packages: Rodent and its dependencies
by Marcel Kühlhorn 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Hello all, currently there we have the package "rodent" and its dependencies in the xfce repo. Rodent itself saw its last upstream update 2016 and after a short talk with Maurizio we came to the conclusion that unless there is interest in that package it would be best to drop it. There are also two dependencies of it: dhb2, which I think we should drop in any case because it already exists in Factory as dhb, and rfm, which like rodent doesn't seem to see much upstream development anymore. So in short I propose dropping rodent, xfm and dhb2 from X11:xfce unless there is a reason for keeping it and someone steps up to maintain them. Alexei is on CC because he originally submitted it. -- Marcel Kühlhorn Have a lot of fun!
