Xfce-4.12 for EL-7

With the update to RHEL - 7.2, GNOME was updated to the next stable version. Along those lines, for Xfce users, I would like to update the Xfce version to Xfce 4.12. However, before I push a mega update, I would like some feedback.

So, I have created a Xfce 4.12 for EPEL-7 repo. If people have some time and have a virtual machine and/or a test system running RHEL-7.2 or CentOS 7.2 or Scientific Linux 7.2, please use the COPR (details below) to install/update to Xfce 4.12 packages.

Here is the link to the COPR - xfce412-epel7 


Here are some screenshots from my Centos VM.




 




Potential Issues

  • There may be some version issues since I just built the latest Fedora SRPMs. 
  • xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin should obsolete xfce4-mixer. If not, please report to me. 
  • There may be some xfce panel plugins missing. Please report to me by email and I will build whatever is missing.

As a reminder,  these are NOT official packages. Please do NOT use bugzilla for these messages. Please do report any issues to me by email.

Xfce 4.12 COPR availbale for Fedora 20 and 21

A COPR repo for Xfce 4.12 is now ready for Fedora 21 and 20. The link to the COPR repo is https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce412/ If you are one of those using dnf on Fedora 21, the repo can be enabled using dnf copr enable nonamedotc/xfce412 Alternatively, visit the link above and download the .repo file and add it to /etc/yum.repos.d . New package : xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin is a new panel plugin that is available in this repo. Important:    If you have my xfce411 COPR repo enabled, disable it. That repo will go away very soon.     xfce4-mixer in xfce411 COPR repo is version 4.11 whereas one in xfce412 repo is xfce4-mixer-4.10.x. This might need uninstalling the 4.11 version followed by installing the older version from 412 repo. Please report all bug reports related to packages in this COPR repo directly to me. Please do NOT bugzilla for these packages. Alternatively, use Fedoraforums (this link) - http://for...

Xfce 4.11 (development version) repo

Xfce 4.11, the development release in the journey towards the next stable 4.12, was released recently. I have built some Xfce 4.11 components for Fedora 20 and rawhide in COPR. It is not complete yet - xfce4-session is missing for one. I have not seen any problems in my test virtual machines or on my laptop - but that's no assurance. For those who want to try, repository links are below. But first, ** Do not use bugzilla for reporting bugs for this COPR package ** Here is the link to my Xfce - 4.11 repo - https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce411/ Although, page shows Fedora 19 repo, do NOT try these packages on Fedora 19. Good luck! :)
