I have reached a point where having an Xfce desktop would be REALLY valuable for supporting my servers by VNCing into the DE.
So is there any possible progress on fixing errors in epel1? Also adding the XFCE missing group that mainline Centos7 has?
thanks

You may have seen my posts around on my challenges to build a couple groups to do a group install. That got me to realize, that I probably know which rpms to install and I could 'do it by hand' for now. So first step was:
yum install glx-utils initial-setup-gui mesa-dri-drivers plymouth-system-theme spice-vdagent xorg-x11-drivers xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-utils xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-xinit xvattr tigervnc-server wayland-protocols-devel xorg-x11-drv-keyboard xorg-x11-drv-libinput xorg-x11-drv-mouse xorg-x11-drv-openchrome
Where xorg-x11-drv-openchrome was not available, but is flagged optional in the group. This installed 16 packages and 263 dependents.
Next the actual Xfce:
yum install Thunar xfce-utils xfce4-panel xfce4-session xfce4-settings xfconf xfdesktop xfwm4 gdm leafpad openssh-askpass orage polkit-gnome thunar-archive-plugin thunar-volman tumbler xfce4-appfinder xfce4-icon-theme xfce4-power-manager xfce4-session-engines xfce4-terminal xfwm4-theme-nodoka xfwm4-themes pinentry
First this showed:
No package xfce-utils available. No package leafpad available. No package thunar-archive-plugin available. No package xfce4-icon-theme available. No package xfwm4-theme-nodoka available.
No leafpad is OK, as a check shows that mousepad is available and this is what is in Fedora28. No xfce-utils is not good. It got worst with critical missing dependencies that need to be fixed before I could get this to work:

I am going to have to put this on the back burner until someone can fix these. I do not have the skill sets to do it.
But having Xcfe would be great for an armv7 SOC over Gnome!
