In my mind this has always been the most sophisticated dock ever, I´ve never found any other dock that could compete, neither visually, nor functionally.
I just wonder, why does openSUSE not provide the plugins rpm? Without plugins this dock is not usable.
How do you install cairo-dock? From sources?
That´s true, but like I said, without the plugins it´s useless.
I just tried to build the plugins from sources on Leap 15.2, unfortunately it fails to build…
yield65 was the last user who provided them in his repo, it seems he gave it up and wiped his repo…
I´m not sure.
yield65 was able to build cairo-dock-plugins why can´t the openSUSE maintainer do that as well?
Unfortunately yield65 is not active any longer and I haven´t the knowledge to fix it on my own…
What makes you think there is openSUSE maintainer in the first place? Being present in some OBS repository does not make package part of openSUSE.
For package to be included in openSUSE at the very least someone needs to step in as maintainer and actually fix the build. And even then it is rather too late for Leap 15.2.
Isn´t repositories/X11:/Utilities/ an official repo, though optional?
If it was a community repo, run by some random user, it would be below repositories/home:/ which it isn´t.
