Greetings, I've been using x11/slim for quite some time with my XFCE desktop. To be honest, I was looking for something a bit more prettier than slim. At the same time, I decided that I didn't want to install GDM, so I decided that porting LightDM would be beneficial for desktop users.
I've managed to do some preliminary porting for lightdm, including getting the application under ports and having it compile and install. However, getting it to run seems to be more difficult. Apparently the FreeDesktop people made LightDM dependent on Plymouth, a desktop utility full of linux-isms. So right now I'm wondering if porting LightDM would be a good idea. If it is, I'm looking for help from experienced developers (possibly even folks from x11@) to help me port this monster. You can find my work-in-progress here: https://redports.org/browser/Partmedia/x11/lightdm Thanks, Kevin Zheng _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-desktop To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
