In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] distribution constructor for making...:
I would love to have XFCE. But as I know, the OI devs will not package other DEs. They stay royal to MATE. You can't found any other DE's packages on the repo.
You might want to review the mailing list archives for this mailing list to get a clearer understanding of why that is. It's been discussed before. If you or Chris or someone else builds an entire desktop environment like Cinnamon and publishes a repo that is kept up to date, I would definitely give it a try, at least in a VM. If someone does this and keeps it up to date for a long time and continues to contribute to OI, I would probably use that as my main desktop environment. Just building it once, without a commitment to keeping it updated, isn't good for anyone, though. Tim
There are packages for many window manager, though. You have to do pretty much anything yourself, with your own repo publisher. BTW, at least I know XFCE is possible on Illumos. Tribblix's default desktop is XFCE. I don't have much hope about Cinnamon. But if you can bring it up, I would love to have it, too. ---- On Wed, 20 Jan 2021 13:55:13 +0700 Chris <oi...@bsdos.info> wrote ---- > Well I was finally able to get OI on one of my spares. > I wanted to do so, so that I could start adding/upgrading > some OI packages.
