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.
Cheers,

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,

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.
TIA, cheers.

Hi all,
since 42.3 officially reached its end of life on Monday I'll go ahead
and remove the Repo from the xfce Project tomorrow unless there are any
objections.

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.
