XFCE update on angstrom feed

[quartercast]

Hey I found there are updates to XFCE on the angstrom reop.


Current openpandora feed contains libxfcegui version 4.6.1-r5.5


Angstrom feed contains libxfcegui 4.6.4-r0.6 in glibc, while eglibc repo is more up to date with 4.8.1-r0.


http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=libxfcegui4-4


So far I installed 4.6.4 which seemed to work OK, while 4.8.1 booted into XFCE with a black screen and cursor shutdown window popped up fine though!


That's about as far as I've played around with it


Hmmm, after a bit of browsing just found this old thread about XFCE 4.8. No progress here since 2011?


And since April 2012 XFCE 4.10 is out!

Doesn't it looks sexy? Don't worry - you can still make XFCE 4.6 look sexy.

I think XFCE needs some love -> its still the default GUI shipping with SZ1.52


Surely someone can build 4.8 or 4.10 for our lovely Pandoras? Think of all the functionality and bugfixes we're missing out on!

Head over to the .next section.


Thi will hopefully become the next firmware version and it already runs XFCE 4.10

ED, will it have gnome3/gtk3 and python3 support as well ? There are more and more applications asking for such requirements, and moving out of the older gtk2 / python 2.x requirements. If we want to keep applications up to date this will be very much needed.
