As mentioned in my previous email [1], I have now submitted Xfce 4.12 packages to EPEL repos after a month of leaving it epel-testing (karma +3 with no negative reports). Mukundan. [1] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraprojec… -- GPG Key - E5C8BC67 -------

Reminder: please test Xfce 4.12 packages on EL-7
by Mukundan Ragavan 09 May '16

I had written earlier [0] about the availability of Xfce 4.12 packages in EPEL testing repositories. This is a reminder for the same. Link to update - https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2016-262a3f39e1 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. Mukundan. [0] https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraprojec… -- GPG Key - E5C8BC67 -------

RFE: virtual keyboard for Live DVD/USB
by ToddAndMargo 30 Apr '16

Dear Fedora Xfce Live Developers, Request for Enhancement: please in a virtual keyboard for those situations where the computer in question has a Blue Tooth keyboard, such as on an Apple MAC. "florence" is in the repos and works very well on my sticks I keep its RPM on a separate stick and have to "click" on it to install it. I also have it installed on my direct stick. Florence is very simple and just works without any "drama". Believe it or not, about one in every three computers I need to boot off a live or direct install stick are Apples. (You hold down the "option" [not the flower] key when booting to select your Live or direct USB.) Many thanks, -T Mac keyboards can be described in one word: miserable. Mac users must not create a lot of text. Seems like they mainly click a lot. Who knows ... Chuckle: the older versions of MAC think that the Live USB is a "Windows" stick. Newer ones call it an "efi" stick. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners. They malfunction when you open windows ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
