Reminder for those using (or planning to use) Xfce on EL-7. Please test Xfce 4.12 packages in epel-testing. Details are below.

In the absence of adverse reports, I will push this to epel repo in next few days.

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Reminder: please test Xfce 4.12 packages on EL-7 Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2016 17:57:17 -0400 From: Mukundan Ragavan nonamedotc@fedoraproject.org To: EPEL Development List epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, Fedora Xfce users and developers xfce@lists.fedoraproject.org, centos-devel@centos.org

I had written earlier [0] about the availability of Xfce 4.12 packages in EPEL testing repositories. This is a reminder for the same.

Some notes from [0] are worth repeating here -

- libxfce4ui obsoletes libxfcegui4 (plugins using libxfcegui4 were never built for EL-7)

- xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin obsoletes xfce4-mixer and xfce4-volumed (xfce4-volumed is not even in the repos)

- xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin uses pavucontrol as sound mixer which is unavailable in EL-7 at the moment.

Additionally, if you have any xfce plugin installed that is not from EPEL repo, it is likely that the plugin will conflict with newer libraries provided by the update. This would need to resolved manually.
