<br>the next 1 or 2 months, we can do an update, but if there's no<br>expectation that a stable release is coming out in time for fedora 8,<br>I'd rather wait. The concern here is mainly that we're starting to
<br>ship externally packaged plugins for compiz and we need an upstream<br>maintenence branch (0.6) that maintains a stable plugin API. I don't<br>know what the compiz schedule is for the current development branch<br>
but it still sees plugin API breaking changes at this time. As far as<br>I know, there's hasn't been a stable release since the merge, but if<br>most of the API changes to allow beryl plugins to run have been<br>
merged, maybe it would be a good idea to wind down and release 0.6?</blockquote><div><br>I asked about this a while ago and David wanted to release a 0.5.2 and a 0.6.0 a bit later...<br>what happend to this? David? <br></div>
<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">2) I don't know what the current status is on config plugins. I know<br>there is interest in getting ccp configured as the default backend,
<br>but I don't know what the benefits of that is over gconf. I<br>understand that gconf is GNOME specific, but I was thinking that the<br>better approach was to move gconf and gtk-window-decorator to a new<br>compiz-gnome subpackage. What is the compiz upstream position? My
<br>position is that we need to use the native configuration system of the<br>desktop environment (that is, gconf when running under GNOME) and<br>reinventing new config file formats is almost never the right approach<br>
(no matter how fun it is).</blockquote><div><br>ccp has a gconf and a konf backend so we can just use this. the benefit over gconf are the configuration tools that already exist for it.<br></div>there was a thread on fedora-devel-list about this...
