so a few days ago xfce released 4.12 !!!
I keep my own custom local repository and just found the time to update my xfce to the latest version !
my PKGBUILDs are mostly a template of the below file (git repo)
# Contributor: Evaggelos Balaskas < Evaggelos _AT_ Balaskas _DOT_ GR >
# Maintainer: Evaggelos Balaskas < Evaggelos _AT_ Balaskas _DOT_ GR >
_pkg=xfwm4
pkgname=$_pkg-git
pkgver=git
pkgrel=1
arch=('any')
pkgdesc="Xfce's window manager"
_cat='xfce'
_fqdn='git.xfce.org'
url="http://$_fqdn/$_cat/$_pkg"
license=('GPL v2')
depends=(libwnck exo)
makedepends=(automake autoconf libtool gcc m4 pkg-config intltool)
optdepends=(startup-notification)
conflicts=($_pkg)
provides=($_pkg)
replaces=($_pkg)
_gitroot="git://$_fqdn/$_cat"
_gitname=$_pkg
pkgver() {
date +%Y%m%d
}
build() {
if [ -d $_gitname ] ; then
msg "cd $_gitname && git pull origin"
cd $_gitname && git pull origin
msg "The local files are updated."
else
msg "git clone $_gitroot/$_gitname"
git clone $_gitroot/$_gitname
msg "The local files are updated."
fi
cd $srcdir/$_pkg
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --disable-debug
make
}
package() {
cd $srcdir/$_pkg
make DESTDIR=$pkgdir install
}
The result is something like this:
If you want to check my entire xfce custom repo, just click xfce-core_4.12.zip
