From: Martin Schlander As feature freeze is drawing closer and compiz-fusion have yet to release I'm wondering what will be done here.

What exactly are you refering to with compiz-fusion? The core package or the extras? compiz-fusion AFAIU stands for the community plugins only, and is provided in X11:Xgl in the openSUSE build service as compiz-extra. It should probably be renamed.

compiz has been updated to latest git lately (and not much tested yet). Cyberorg is working on the community packages, I don't know ATM whether he has already updated compiz-extra in X11:Xgl to a new version. 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.
