Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I would like to add a new category to the tree: lxde-base, to be used |
| 4 |
for the LXDE desktop [1,2] packages, in correspondence to the categories |
| 5 |
for the other desktop environments we have (gnome, kde, xfce). With the |
| 6 |
help of a few users I have been developing ebuilds for these packages in |
| 7 |
the lxde overlay [3], and I would like to move the ebuilds for the |
| 8 |
release versions into the official tree now. (The overlay also contains |
| 9 |
live svn ebuilds.) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
LXDE currently has 14 packages that would go into this new category, |
| 12 |
which is comparable to what xfce-base has. It also uses x11-wm/openbox |
| 13 |
as default WM, and x11-misc/pcmanfm as default filemanager, although |
| 14 |
these can be easily swapped for others. |

Comments are welcome! |
