Summary: Review Request: compiz https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192432 krh@xxxxxxxxxx changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |krh@xxxxxxxxxx ------- Additional Comments From krh@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-06-07 17:15 EST ------- We're definitely interested in making compiz usable on fedora, but there are a number of issues with the current approach that needs to be worked out: - Must work with aiglx. Packaging Xgl is fine and compiz should be able to run on Xgl too, but Xgl can not be a dependency of the compiz RPM. compiz will need further patches for this to work, specifically it needs to default to strict texture binding and indirect rendering. - We should update to compiz 0.0.12 - Can't include mesa source, must work with system mesa. Current rawhide mesa almost works, but needs a patch to provide a few extra FBConfig attributes. - We can't pull in libsvg-cairo. No development is going on on that library anymore. librsvg is the svg renderer to use going forward, and it now renders to a cairo surface too. Short term we'll have to disable the svg functionality, longer term I'm sure upstream will take a patch to port to librsvg. - the %description mentions EXT_texture_from_drawable, it's now called EXT_texture_from_pixmap. In either case it's too much of an implementation detail to put in the %description. However it should mention that compiz is also a windows manager. I'm currently working on patches to the core packages (Xorg and mesa) to make it possible to run compiz on aiglx, will keep this bug updated as that work progresses. thanks, Kristian -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
