Re: Bug#388701: Why Beryl has just four packages?
I've stopped Beryl for now since they are officially merging with compiz. I need to speak to the compiz maintainer. I have 0.2.1 in a local git repository but im likely just going to chuck it out. With the merge its moot now. - Original Message From: Kurt Roeckx [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Shawn Starr [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Anibal Avelar [EMAIL PROTECTED]; debian-devel@lists.debian.org Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2007 5:38:39 AM Subject: Bug#388701: Why Beryl has just four packages?

I know beryl has another packages: beryl-dbus beryl-manager and optionally: emerald-themes aquamarine heliodor emerald-themes is not needed as the themes are available from emerald. Plus we cannot confirm the licenses of the themes at this time. Aquamarine is completed again, copyright issues need to be resolved (minor). Heliodor I won't be including, gtk-window-decorator from compiz is the same thing and will work with beryl (im not sure of metacity themes as there are issues with this) Do you have plans for the others packages? Because, I have been waiting from the begining those packages, I built my own packages [2] and I uploaded them in my unofficial Debian repository: deb http://fixxxer.cc/debian unstable/ deb-src http://fixxxer.cc/debian unstable/ I have built five packages: beryl, beryl-manager, beryl-plugins, beryl-settings and emerald from the 0.1.4 version. Please, check them. I just proved them under Intel chipsets, and they are working fine (so far). Shawn, I would appreciate if you will let me help you. I'm Debian maintainer and I have a great interest in beryl. You can find the current work on git.debian.org as mentioned, when 0.2 gold is out we will have all copyright/license issues resolved finally. One important thing is the that beryl 0.1.4 has icons that are non-free (from the tango project) and these will be removed in beryl 0.2.0 as upstream has told me. Otherwise, beryl would have to go into non-free.
