Update to wily packages #220

Closed auscompgeek closed 8 years ago

auscompgeek commented 9 years ago

Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf has been released. The GNOME 3 PPA contains 3.18 for wily.

Of particular interest is that Ubuntu has now ditched Ayatana overlay scrollbars in favour of GNOME's overlay scrollbars, which should ease some headaches.

chenxiaolong commented 9 years ago

Thanks for creating this! I've been extremely busy with my internship and senior year of university, so I haven't had much time to maintain these packages for the last few months. Things are slowing down now, so I'll have some time to take a good look at what's needed to get the Wily packages working.

I have started this process, and using an up-to-date arch I have now gotten as far as libindicate, and I had to patch some stuff, I will try to report the patches here:

Better yet, a fork wiith a branch: https://github.com/epichub/Unity-for-Arch/tree/wily-fixes

Ste74 commented 8 years ago

Guys .. hello everybody. i am a manjaro maintainer team .. today our project release a deepin iso stable ( deepin is now in our official repo ) . Do you think to release a iso with unity ? is an interesting project?

sollidsnake commented 8 years ago

@Ste74 that would be awesome! I don't know much about manjaro, but unity with the default arch repos often breaks. I'd switch to manjaro right away if there was a stable repository for unity.

Ste74 commented 8 years ago

In Manjaro we have 3 branches: unstable (arch pkg and more), testing (for test pkg) and stable where the pkg with no problem are included after testing phase . I'm not an expert to solve problem in compiling but i can build easly an iso . Possible create a team to start this project ?

sollidsnake commented 8 years ago

What skills do I need?

Ste74 commented 8 years ago

First i need to create a repository to test pkg ... i not try to build an installation for unity .. At today unity works in arch ? I see the issue ... before i create a iso with pantheon (https://forum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=26954.msg226998#msg226998) but now after gtk3.18+ more pkg are freeze in alucryd unofficial repo .. unity have the same problem ?

sollidsnake commented 8 years ago

Well I'm not a maintainer of this project, I don't know the details, but I have an up to date arch system where unity won't launch using the packages in the unity repository. You usually have to downgrade some packages (gnome's and others I can't recall) to keep it running after a big update. So right now I'm not using arch with unity. I have some knowledge about abs and I'm willing to help if I can

Ste74 commented 8 years ago

Well .. if problem is only downgrade the pkg i think the optimal solution is fork the pkg interested ..

sollidsnake commented 8 years ago

The problem is when other packages depend on new versions of the pkg you forked. It becomes a snow ball.

sollidsnake commented 8 years ago

I think, when a upgrade breaks unity, the right thing to do is the same thing ubuntu does: freeze the version of the packages that cannot be upgraded, until the ubuntu team make it compatible.

Ste74 commented 8 years ago

sound good ..

chenxiaolong commented 8 years ago

Everything has now been updated to the Xenial (16.04) packages and are working with GNOME 3.20.
