Hello all,<br><br>as seen on utnubu, the diffs between debian/ubuntu xfce packages shrank recently and what is left is mostly noise due to<br>us using os-works packages for hoary when sid didn't have 4.2 yet, and carrying some of those packages over, especially goodies.
<br>The sid packages built fine and work well in ubuntu without the xinerama/autotools-dev build-depends so all is well :)<br>I'd like to ask you if it's not too much to bump the revision on some of the packages so we get the same versions and use sid packages
<br>instead of os-works ones everywhere. Since they started independently there are changelog and other misc diffs but which only affect<br>utnubu, polluting the real changes with noise, and make it harder for us to autosync from debian.
<br><br>Another good reason for us is that I am trying to get xfce packages into the main section of the ubuntu archives which means they get to be officially<br>supported. Having them coming directly from sid eases the review process and makes them a lot more credible.
<br><br>The package diffs can be seen on utnubu but I'll summarize here.<br><br>xfmedia - we have the os-works version 0.9.1 while sid is still at 0.9.0 (although 0.9.1 seems to be in alioth svn already just not uploaded)
<br>exo - cannot sync yet as our version is newer. Can a new snapshot get in sid, along with thunar if possible ;) ?<br>battery-plugin - we have a patch to make the reading of acpi battery status not show AC when it's on battery. Needed with kernels released after early 2002.
<br>datetime,diskperf, minicmd, showdesktop -these are os-works packages, would need a bump by 1 or 2 revisions in sid to be syncable.<br>we also have two epochs on xffm4 and xfce4-mixer due to historical reasons, but those are ugly and I am not expecting you to mess up your version history too.
<br><br>Also xfce4-taskmanager is only in ubuntu, and there may be other goodies not in debian.<br><br>considering any of these would be nice<br><br>thanks<br>Jani<br><br><a href="http://utnubu.alioth.debian.org/scottish/by_maint/pkg-xfce-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org/">
