Yeah, in my to-do. I will shoot for Xfce 4.14 once it has lived in Fedora for a couple of weeks or so.

Already build see my site

Any update or ETA on when this will enter testing? The default (and even legacy) GNOME3 mandatory desktop makes me want to run my head through the wall several times a day.

Sorry for the delay. I have been really busy these days. I will endeavor to get xfce to EPEL8 by the end of this month.

There should be no delay beyond that.

Making any progress on your efforts to build XFCE packages for EL8?  I am so looking forward to your release.

Scoot Donwde It has already been build take my SRPM & RPM from my site

see https://sauronlenoir.be/index.php/en/xxx


 Mukundan Ragavan  take my build you have the rpms et srpms for centos 8 
just loot at it and after that you can it in your repo  i'm currently running it more thant 1 month without any bugs.

Greetings,

EPEL (and now EPEL Playground) are well known and used by millions (I'm guessing) of users.  Getting XFCE available in EPEL, where it has been available in the past, is definitely a goal I'd like to support.

Using someone else's one-off repo is not something I like to do... because there are no guarantees it will continue to be maintained or that there will be a easy transition from a one-off repo to EPEL once the packages are available there.  I am in no way trying to repudiate you, your skills, your efforts, nor your packages.

Another roadblock for me with EL8 is the lack of a livecd-tools package, historically in the CentOS Extras repo.  I'd really like to build live/installable C8 media with XFCE as the default desktop... so I've got to be patient... so while I'd like to see XFCE packages sooner than later, I'm not in a terrible hurry... at least not until after livecd-tools (which provides livecd-creator) appears... assuming it ever does.  I tried using a Fedora 28 livecd-tools package (which EL8 is loosely based on?) but there were missing python deps and conflicts that were difficult to get past... which I'm guessing is part of the reason it isn't currently available.  This paragraph is way off-topic so please forgive.

TYL,
Scott Dowdle

hi scott, yes I will build this in the next couple of weeks.

I have requested EPEL8 branches. Xfce will appear in EPEL8 testing repos within the next week or so.

Could you please add the XFCE Desktop to Centos 8 like in Centos 7?
Thank you very much

suomi

yes. In progress.
