I had written about my COPR earlier [0]. For sometime, I had not been updating it. Now, the COPR is up-to-date again. The COPR xfce-414 can be enabled on Fedora 25+ using the command below - dnf copr enable nonamedotc/xfce-414 Please test and open any issues using the pagure repo -  https://pagure.io/xfce-414 I am aware of some GTK-2 packages (e.g. claws-mail) under Applications menu show up out of place. The best theme to use with Xfce 4.13 is greybird. I recently pushed an updates to the testing repositories of Fedora 26 [1] and 27 [2] that addresses issues with Xfce 4.13. [0]  COPR for Xfce-4.13 packages [1]  Greybird update for Fedora 26 [2]  Greybird update for Fedora 27

Xfce 4.13 is the development version leading to Xfce 4.14. I have setup a COPR repository for Xfce 4.13 packages. This COPR provides packages for Rawhide, Fedora 26 and Fedora 25. Link to COPR -  https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nonamedotc/xfce-414/ This repo can easily be enabled using dnf as follows -  dnf copr enable nonamedotc/xfce-414 When I had setup a Xfce-4.11 COPR repo in the times past, there was no mechanism for filing bug reports. That is not an issue this time around. To complement the builds in the COPR, I am using pagure for the spec files (so that I can use git). The advantage in using pagure is that any issues that come up can be filed as "issues". Here is the link to pagure Xfce-414 git -  https://pagure.io/xfce-414 Happy testing and please report any bugs using pagure.

A new version of gparted was released recently and I have updated the Fedora package to the latest version - 0.28.1. This version brings a rather exciting (at least, to me) update - ability to copy and resize already open LUKS filesystems. For full details, see gparted release notes of both 0.28.0 and 0.28.1 0.28.0 - release notes (0.28.0) 0.28.1 - release notes (0.28.1) This update is, at the moment, only pushed for Fedora 25. I will test this and submit an update for EPEL-7 in the next few days. Obligatory screenshots -  

Spyder 3 was released sometime back and the latest version 3.1.0 was released yesterday. I have working on updating Spyder to 3.x for sometime now. Towards this effort, I got the following packages reviewed and included in Fedora -  python-QtPy python-QtAwesome python-flit python-entrypoints python-nbconvert python-entrypoints python-pickleshare In addition to this, the package python-ipykernel had to be reviewed. This was completed sometime towards the end of last year. Now that all the packages are available (in different forms), I have put together a COPR repo where spyder 3.1.0 package resides. I would like to get these packages tested before I submit it as a big update to Fedora 25. COPR repo is here - nonamedotc/spyder3 - COPR repo Of course, this repo can be directly enabled from a terminal - dnf copr enable nonamedotc/spyder3 To install spyder along with ipython console from this repo, do dnf install python{2,3}-{spyder,ipython} ...
