  1. Outdated Desktop Environments

    P.s.: The linked git repo from shadow53 seems to be down sadly.

    I actually found that gentoo upstream ebuilds actually provide LxQt 0.14.1 including pcmanfm-qt and qterminal and stuff.

    Now, i actually need to find out how to/manage to get them together with my fresh built funtoo 1.3-kit.

    (Well, at least, having a funtoo within funtoo is sorta fun.. chroot ftw. ;))

    Ugh, I feel bad about this.

    I've got school starting in about a week, so I'm forcing myself to switch to a "just works" distro (Solus) so I won't be distracted by tweaking packages and build options to my heart's content, like I have been all summer... I need my little free time for a social life and working on my software projects that I'm planning on monetizing once they're ready.

    If someone wants to take over updating LXQt, I've got updated ebuilds in my personal overlay that can be used as a base. They have been updated to use the newer upstream URLs, include USE flags for just about every configuration option, and have been somewhat tested to build, install, and run. It also includes a new package not in the repo,  x11-misc/compton-conf.

    The overlay contains other packages I've attempted to update/add, including some that don't build currently. The relevant packages for LXQt are: 

    
dev-libs/libqtxdg
dev-util/lxqt-build-tools
lxqt-base/liblxqt
lxqt-base/libsysstat
lxqt-base/lxqt-about
lxqt-base/lxqt-admin
lxqt-base/lxqt-config
lxqt-base/lxqt-globalkeys
lxqt-base/lxqt-l10n
lxqt-base/lxqt-meta
lxqt-base/lxqt-notificationd
lxqt-base/lxqt-openssh-askpass
lxqt-base/lxqt-panel
lxqt-base/lxqt-policykit
lxqt-base/lxqt-panelmanagement
lxqt-base/lxqt-qtplugin
lxqt-base/lxqt-runner
lxqt-base/lxqt-session
lxqt-base/lxqt-sudo
media-gfx/lximage-qt
media-sound/pavucontrol-qt
x11-libs/libfm-qt
x11-libs/qtermwidget
x11-misc/compton-conf
x11-misc/obconf-qt
x11-misc/pcmanfm-qt
x11-misc/qps
x11-misc/screengrab
x11-terms/qterminal
x11-themes/lxqt-themes

    I wasn't able to do extensive testing of all of the applications, but I was able to get them all installed and could log in to an LXQt session. QTerminal worked, as did switching themes from the lxqt-themes package. There shouldn't be too much work left for LXQt, at least, except further testing of the packages and I think some USE flags need to be documented.

    Apologies for not seeing it through, especially since I'm the one who originally reported the packages being out of date. I really appreciate Funtoo and the customization it provides, as well as the tools it provides on top of Gentoo.



    I'm happy to see that there is at least some base to start from.

    I actually have a problem with pcmanfm-qt 0.13.0 not remembering that i always want to see all (including hidden) files and just got slapped over there that 0.13.0 is outdated (for today there is 0.14.1 already).

    So i cannot promise anything at all but will right now go and find out how to get lxtq-base/* and x11-base/pcmanfm-qt up to the newer versions. Thanx for your work!

    And don't feel bad, we all have some sort of real life. ?

    P.s.: Sorry for full-quote, i don't know how to cut it down properly right now.. ?
