[gentoo-dev] If anyone is intrested in helping around with Xfce...

[Samuli Suominen]

If anyone is intrested in helping around with Xfce we have 2 bigger 
tasks on going:

1) Pass --libexecdir="${EPREFIX}" to all plugins installing to 
/usr/libexec/xfce4/ as opposed to /usr/lib/xfce4/

2) Convert every libxfcegui4 reverse dependency to use libxfce4ui and 
lastrite libxfcegui4 (because libxfcegui4 is compability library from 
Xfce 4.4!)

http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/dindex/xfce-base/libxfcegui4
http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/xfce-base/libxfcegui4

Most patches are already written, and at Xfce's git or bugzilla

It's not hard but very time consuming. If you are intrested just ping me 
at IRC and I can walk you through

Typing error.

inherit multilib xfconf

--libexecdir="${EPREFIX}"/usr/$(get_libdir)

I tested this, works fine. Is there a better way to fix it within the 
package, though?

I tend to remember you are the upstream for xfce4-hdaps?

Then absolutely. You should convert the plug-in to the new module 
format, check for example here:

http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-mpc-plugin/commit/?id=11e6ebca679265ff5fb4e2cda585d8a26f3c99c1

Then check the paths used by actual plugins shipped with the 
xfce-base/xfce4-panel. For example:

$libdir/xfce4/panel/plugins/libhdaps.so
$datadir/xfce4/panel/plugins/hdaps.desktop

So it's just as you guessed, the --libdir= thing is just a workaround we 
can apply for unported plugins...
