It looks like the compiz 0.8 branch has been picked up and is being actively developed again by long time contributor/code writer Scott Moreau. He updated compiz and all the companion packages to 0.8.10 a few months back. I would like to see compiz updated to 0.8.10 since 0.8.8 is now 4 years old. I am getting ready to submit all the companion package updates to SBo.org this evening but If you could pass the word up the food chain to Pat and see if he would consider either updating the compiz core package or dropping it altogether and giving it over to the community that would be great. I realize that most desktop environments have there own compositing window managers now but compiz is still great for Xfce and Mate-Desktop.

Thanks Robby.

Here are the links to the official announcement and a Roadmap for future releases.

As mentioned by nobodino on page 6 of this thread, texinfo could be updated from 4.13a to 5.2

In support of this suggestion, I have external software which wants texi2any at build time. This is included in recent texinfo releases but not in the 4.13a version which, according to http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/texinfo/, dates back to 2008 (5.2 was released in 2013).

Could you please add mutagen and rebuild libgpod once mutagen is installed?

As it is, the lack of mutagen means that libgpod is built without the Python bindings that gPodder, for example, need to sync to iPods.

Thanks!

I for one, I subscribe to the upgrade of Midnight Commander and Qt!

BTW, the current shipped MC have problems with the RAR archives created by (Win)RAR 5.20+.

Edit: Withdrawn updates.

Nevermind, one of the packages developed a bug so had to roll back the system a bit. It wasn't system breaking, but it was rather an annoying one.
