For the display managers, there are wdm, xdm and slim (but they lack integration with consolekit). For the desktop (in fact window managers), fvwm, fluxbox, icewm, WindowMaker pekwm and other I forgot about. Among the file managers, there is gentoo (although it should be better inegrated with xdg-open use), and rox-filer could be packaged (I have a spec). I wanted to package ivman for automounting, but it turned out to have too much issues. I have developped halevt to replace ivman, but so far nobody has packaged it (I don't want to maintain it in fedora since I am upstream). There are many dockaps packaged, but more wouldn't hurt. For openoffice, I haven't seen obvious replacements (I tried to package Ted, but it is a nightmare). To replace firefox, there is dillo, but it lacks functionalities, more promising is links-hacked (I have a spec) or maybe links2. Last xpdf/gv are much lighter than evince. So there are many pieces in place, but still some lacking parts or missing features. In any case, I don't think that a comps group would be useful for 3 reasons: * there is a lot of diversity, * this sets of packages are more geared toward power users, * minimal usable set is very small (a display manager, a window manager) > On xdm theme -- if anybody is interested in this; well, > xorg-x11-xdm src.rpm is 400k -- it shouldn't be unfathomable for > interested geek to fix it and maintain it (and I would be glad to > meet you, because xdm bugs in bugzilla are always for me, desktop > team bugmaster, kind of nightmare). > > What do you think? I could look at the packaging part (in some future, though), but not at the code. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
