Right now, xfce ebuilds in tree are unmaintainable because: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
- Eclass sets invalid license to pkgs, they all have different ones, |
| 4 |
GPL-2, LGPL-2*, GPL-3, BSD |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
- Ebuilds have started using internal functions from both xfce44 and |
| 7 |
xfce4 eclasses. Yes, some Xfce 4.6 ebuilds are still using xfce44.eclass. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
- Upstream changed SRC_URI for plugins. It was a problem even before, |
| 10 |
some plugins are in separate locations such as Xfce4 developers own |
| 11 |
devspaces. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Just to mention some. It's complex, and not in a smart way. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
We want to deprecate all of the xfce*.eclasses in tree and switch to |
| 16 |
this simple template ebuild. |

Please comment if there's something to change. Keep it simple. |

Timeframe: If you agree, I or we will convert them in within 1-2 days |
| 21 |
from now. |
