It might make sense to move unsupported plugins to lp:compiz if we can turn compiling them off quite easily. The build time is already excessive because we build a bunch of stuff we don't care about. Introducing some cmake variables for that is probably trivial?
In any case, if you wish to start integrating them in, there's a bit of an involved process you need to follow. Ideally, you'd want to maintain the bzr history. Here's how I did it for all of the other compiz plugins: (dammit, I can't find my extremely useful python script I wrote for this ... in any case, here's how it was done from memory) You'll need the bzr fastimport and bzr join plugins. I think join is part of the normal bzr distribution. Fastimport I got from bzr branch lp :bzr-fastimport fastimport cloned into ~./bazaar/plugins . You'll also need a custom plugin called set_root_id. You can get that here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/370710/comments/4 >From there, its something like this: git clone $GITURL bzr init $PLUGIN-bzr cd $GITDIR git fast-export | (cd ../$PLUGIN-bzr; bzr fast-import -) #creates a new bzr repo with history in tact cd ../$PLUGIN-bzr bzr set-root-id # works around bug 370710 Then move the bzr repo into the compiz/plugins repo and do bzr join $PLUGIN-bzr That will create a "merge" of the plugin into lp:compiz. Commit it with bzr commit To check if it worked correctly, you can use bzr log -n 0 | less The entire history for the plugin should appear underneath your merge commit Also check if the per-file history is in tact. I think its a matter of bzr blame somefile.cpp | less in the plugin. Make sure that every line isn't by your lp id ;-) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011083 Title: Wishlist: Move working "unsupported" plugins to the main bzr repo and integrate them into the compiz-plugins-extra package for easy installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1011083/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
