为什么Debian官方源里没有Compiz fusion?

是因为Compiz fusion还不稳定吗？

    hi emilio,

    thanks for the work on this!

    the biggest problem that we had been facing thus far is that the debian-x
    folks are very reluctant to take on management of cdbs-based packaging,
    which is why i never just took and cross-ported ubuntu's packages (which is
    what you've used as a basis for your packages, it seems).

    as you can see, my ITP was a while back.  a combination of factors have
    kept me really busy in the past few months, though it looks like this is
    finally cleared up now, and i can start spending time on fun things again
   

    i'd like to continue working on debianized compiz-foo packages that the
    debian-x folks are more happy to team-maintain, but it seems like a real
    waste to leave everyone sitting around waiting in the meantime, esp. when
    someone (you) has already provided the working packages.

    so, i'm cc'ing debian-x with a proposal, that i hope will make everyone
    happy:

    0 - do a quick audit of the packages you've provided.
    1 - i take the packages that you've provided, add myself to Uploaders, and
    sponsor uploads into unstable of these packages.
    1.5 - bug reports go to you as the official maintainer, and you can
    coordinate with me on any fixes/updates which i will also sponsor.
    2 - i continue working on the non-cdbs debianisation in the pkg-xorg repo
    3 - at some point >= now, we have a "handover" where the pkg-xorg
    maintained packages replace the sponsored package.
    4 - you are invited to join debian-x and continue to help team-maintain the
    latest pkg-xorg maintained packages.



    what does everyone think of this?

    hi emilio et al,


    As previously discussed, i've uploaded modified versions of the packages
emilio has made available. The modifications have included mostly lintian related
fixes and other packaging fixes, which should be fixed in the next version of your
packages.

    attached to this mail are a series of patches for each of the packages. i've done
the versioning in a way such that you should just be able to increment your previously
used revision to supercede my version.

    also attached is a lintian report for the rest of the issues i did not address.
also, i'm suspicious of some of the Depends/Recommends/Replaces/Conflicts
relationships... most of this seems to stem from trying to deal with the various
unofficial versions of the packages, which may distribute various files differently
between the packages. I think i've fixed them mostly, but you should verify
this. i haven't uploaded the emerald packages, as it looks like they still need a
bit of work (they're still debian native currently, for example), but i've verified
that they do build and work, at least.

    and finally, this upload has been targeted at experimental, because the new
packages not previously in debian will get caught up in NEW, so it's better that
they all make it through before we let it hit unstable.

    as for my next steps, the first thing i'll need to do is update the wiki with the
current status, as well as outline the remaining tasks, and those interested should
be able to start chipping in with the remaining help.


    thanks,
            sean

That's great. In the next days I'll watch these diffs and I'll tell you what should
be changed according to me.

Why the version number still includes ~emiscabpo? I've added that to differentiate
packages from my repository to the official debian ones. But now they would
become official debian packages, this release tag could be removed.

Regarding emerald, compiz fusion folks, haven't released a 0.6.0 version. They
say in the 0.6.0 release announce that
http://lists.compiz-fusion.org/p ... October/000142.html

"lease note that emerald and the emerald-themes components are being held

until the next release due to a runtime crasher. Emerald 0.5.2 can still be used

in the meantime."

So we can choose:
* emerald version 0.5.2
* latest emerald git tree, like I did.
* not include emerald

What do you think it's better?

Bye,
Emilio
