Hi!!

Well, that, no more no less.

someone had this package for slack12.2?

rworkman, i guess , dont have it, yet

thanx a lot

no one have it....
the wway to do it??......from several tar.gz??

makepkg?

I've got packages done, but you won't see them for 12.2 until Pat pushes them out to the -current tree. Patience, grasshopper :-)

thanx for the reply....
but......you use makepkg??

I'm waiting for this too.....RW...so you will have the package on your site soon, I mean you do this after Pat put's it in -current for sameness? I'm a grasshopper too.....

PS, changed my name from 'thezoid' to this

by the way.........the meaning of grasshopper is??
unpatience?

How old are you?

im 27 but im from argentina, here is "saltamontes" not grasshopper ,he

little grasshopper jejee

thanx

I took your script for 4.6.0 and modified it for 4.6.1 - hope you don't mind. Its compiling now, so it will be a bit before its done. Moving along rather nicely at the moment.

Ok, all done and up and running. Seems quick and responsive, and very different from the usual xfce. Will take some time to explore, but all-in-all, very good so far.

the way to do the package is compile everything a then makepkg?
i like to know the system for future releases.

thanx again

The Grasshopper

Make a directory and name it XFCE4
Go inside XFCE4 and make another directory and name it src
Download the complete xfce-4.6.1 tarball to the src directory
Go into the src directory and extract the tarball by a right-click in gui, or, from a terminal:

tar xvf xfce-4.6.1-src.tar.bz2

I have attached the modified script I used as a txt file. Rename this file by removing the txt extension and place it in the XFCE4 directory. Make sure it is set executable. Run the script from the XFCE4 directory. On my system, it took 15 minutes to compile everything. The resulting package is in /tmp/xfce-build-dir

Go into that directory and issue:

upgradepkg xfce-4.6.1-i486-1.tgz

To start from init 3:

startxfce4

This is the dirty way to get it done. I ain't no expert.

mlangdn:

Of course I don't mind you doing that - that's why the sources are available.
I looked at your modified script, and a couple of things jump out:
1) you didn't build xfce-dev-tools, because $VERSION is now 4.6.1, but they stayed at 4.6.0 since there were no changes since then
2) the terminal patch shouldn't be needed any more -- I have to admit that I'm curious as to why the script didn't bail out there though.

There may be a few other (minor) things, but ultimately, you've got the right idea. Good job :-)

that's a lot confidence for a grasshopper to have....think I'll wait on RW as I know he's losing sleep knowing we are all drooling over this.....

It did barf on xfce-dev-tools. I had to change the version number thingy on that and the one for themes:
