unrealistic as all the plugins listed here have no upstream, as in, bugs |
| 17 |
get filed at bugzilla.xfce.org and plugins are not marked as obsolete in |
| 18 |
git... |
| 19 |
but they still have next to nobody looking after them. only translations |
| 20 |
get submitted through automated process |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
so unless you are willing to go that far as introducing yourself at the |
| 23 |
xfce devel mailing list and accepting the mantle of upstream of them, we |
| 24 |
are really stuck at this distribution level patching just like others |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Xfce 4.12 is on it's way and does not have libxfcegui4, as in, |
| 27 |
pre-releases are for nearly every core component of pre-4.12 are out |
