[CentOS-devel] Reminder: please test Xfce 4.12 packages on EL-7

[Mukundan Ragavan]

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.
