#1

Hi everyone,

I was wondering what is happening with emerald-compiz in openSUSE ? I went to openSUSE download and all the packages for emerald-compiz aren’t available. Are they still maintained ?

I don’t use compiz, but maybe this thread will help?

openSUSE 11.3 KDE 4.5.0+compiz question

Software search shows:

Hi deano_ferrari,

I did this search. The problem is if you click on any of these links, they simply don’t work. The repo X11:XGL/openSUSE_11.3 doesn’t exist anymore. I don’t know whom we must inform for this.

Thanks for the above link, it seems that someone is maintaining compiz-emerald. How come compiz-emerald is not maintained officially in the distribution ? Is there a problem or what ?

Of course, you’re right. Try this repo instead:

Index of /repositories/home:/lOtz1009:/emerald/openSUSE_11.3

use it, or compile yourself :wink:
emerald’s code is way too old.
fwiw it’s not working on 11.4 (at least i’m not able to build it on
factory so far).
many of its used gtk-functions are deprecated.
best would be that the whole code would be changed.
