people, currently Unity Desktop requires nearly no vendor patches and most stuff is already upstreamed; there is one exception though regarding Unity and it comes with the (in)famous Menu Proxy patch on GTK+ which isn't upstreamed. On a fedora list I got word from GTK+ maintainers (John McCann if I'm not mistaken) that Canonical and GTK+ were working together to neutralize this situation and canonical will move to GMenus. This will allow this patch to be dropped in the near future (most likely already 3.6). This is currently the only patch we need as all the rest is done. My work current status on X11:Unity is: - uTouch stack > Done (needs some cleanups only); - Base libraries > A few done (missing the hardcore stuff after GTK+ patching is sorted); - Compiz > 80% done locally (will be called compiz-unity and will provide/obsolete other versions of compiz, namelly the 0.8.x); - Indicators > 0% done (this is a day work). - Lenz and other minor stuff > 0%. - KDE Stuff > Not gonna happen by my hand until everything is secured. Once we have Unity going, I'll look into that if I have someone who is fluent with KDE to own those packages. so it's happening, prepare to storm the news channels before the end of the month. One last thing: Can we have the menu proxy patch for 12.2 on GTK+ so we don't need to replace any components from the base distro? Fedora is moving this way. And this time we will have Unity for sure. GNOME:Ayatana has been dropped by me, as most of the previous has been object of changes I really don't like.
