Description Alphonse Van Assche 2006-05-19 18:31:27 UTC
Spec URL: http://users.telenet.be/quenta/SPECS/compiz-quinn.spec
SRPM URL: http://users.telenet.be/quenta/repo/compiz-quinn-0.0.10-1.src.rpm

Description:
Compiz is an OpenGL compositing manager that use
GLX_EXT_texture_from_drawable for binding redirected top-level windows
to texture objects. It has a flexible plug-in system and it is designed
to run well on most graphics hardware.

This version of compiz use the sources of Quinn Strom -> http://xgl.compiz.info/ (it contain all the last patches and plugins for compiz). at this time, this version is less stable than these of suse by David Reveman.

They are my first paquackages and I need a sponsor.

regards,
Al

Comment 2 Till Maas 2006-08-24 00:49:19 UTC
It seems to me that you still / again need a sponsor since your other package is
(going to be) in Fedora Core instead of Extras and I do not find your e-mail
address in the list of cvsextras members. This means you need to add
FE-NEEDSPONSOR in the "blocks" input field.

Comment 4 Rahul Sundaram 2006-09-20 15:39:04 UTC
Apparently this has become a fork and renamed

http://www.compiz.net/topic-4562-1.html

Comment 5 Alphonse Van Assche 2006-09-21 20:24:20 UTC
I tested the fork on a fresh FC5 installation.
Here are de dependencies that i have installed (if that can helped somebody):

autoconf.noarch 2.59-7
automake.noarch 1.9.6-2
libtool.i386 1.5.22-2.3
libXcomposite-devel.i386 0.2.2.2-2.2
libXdamage-devel.i386 1.0.2.2-2.2
startup-notification-devel.i386 0.8-3.2.1
imake.i386 1.0.1-3
dbus-devel.i386 0.61-3.fc5.1
libcroco-devel.i386 0.6.1-1
libgsf-devel.i386 1.13.3-2.2.1
librsvg2-devel.i386 2.14.4-1.fc5.1
libwnck-devel.i386 2.14.3-1.fc5

The developers does not propose packages yet and wait until a first stable
release before providing theirs debian packages.
I think that, it would be well if we prepare these packages in advance. Like
that once a stable version relesead, we will be able to release it.

Some packaged beryl checkout to toy with would be great!

> Some packaged beryl checkout to toy with would be great!

I'm busy playing with this right now myself... Still working on refining the
packages, but they should all be here shortly:

http://wilsonet.com/packages/beryl/

Only beryl-core as I type, still working on the rest...

Comment 8 Lars G 2006-10-03 22:54:25 UTC
yay, great!

just did a rebuild of your source packages
(core/manager/plugins/settings/emerald) on a current rawhide install
and beryl-start works fine with gf6600gt and latest nvidia beta drivers.
the new effects are looking sooo nice!

...back to testing some bling :)

Comment 9 Jarod Wilson 2006-10-03 23:02:00 UTC
...and I just uploaded emerald-themes to finish off the full set. Glad to hear
they're workin' for ya, I haven't got as far as testing out the actual
functionality yet. :)

Still a little bit of spec cleanup work to do, but all in all, this is looking
rather promising...

Comment 10 Jarod Wilson 2006-10-03 23:20:36 UTC
Okay, just had a chance to test out the fruits of my labor. NICE!

Comment 11 Lars G 2006-10-03 23:34:56 UTC
Indeed, this is truly looking great!
Thanks for doing these nice packages, feels like christmas, so much (eye-)candy :)


Comment 12 Lars G 2006-10-04 06:16:52 UTC
ok

after some hours of testing i have to say that it runs totally stable.(!)

one thing i noticed is that when going to system>preferences>windows
an window pops up telling:
"Cannot start the preferences application for your window manager
Window manager "beryl" has not registered a configuration tool"
this worked ok with compiz from rawhide i tried before.

currently i'm starting beryl with beryl-start from gnome-session.
i had to add "--use-cow --indirect-rendering"
to /usr/bin/beryl-start, because there were some black windows after login
without these options set.

i also tried to add beryl-start to the /apps/gnome-session/rh/window_manager
gconf entry.
it started (got that wobbly beryl splash) but then it only displayed a white
desktop. maybe some timing issue.

overall pretty impressive and speedwise on par with rawhide's compiz here.

Comment 13 Jarod Wilson 2006-10-04 06:41:17 UTC
I've gone ahead and submitted all the beryl components for review:

beryl-core - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209259
beryl-manager - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209260
beryl-settings - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209261
beryl-plugins - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209262
emerald - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209263
emerald-themes - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=209264

I'll have to poke around to see what can be done about that message in
system->prefs->windows... Should be registering beryl-settings, obviously, just
dunno how to do it yet... :)

The other stuff sounds like good content for a page in the Fedora and/or Beryl
wiki(s).

Comment 14 Thomas J. Baker 2006-10-04 12:41:52 UTC
I had problems with it not remembering my theme setting. Each time I start it,
it goes to the default theme. I did have a lockup when turning on Blurring from
the beryl-manager too (nvidia binary drivers). And although it kind of is
xinerma aware for window maximize, it still opens windows in the middle of the
two screens. Also on maximize, it maximizes the window in one screen but
seemingly doesn't ask it to redraw. Depending on the app, this can be messy. I'm
not sure which of these are upstream bugs and which are packaging ones.

Still, the eye candy is quite impressive. I still miss the exploding window on
close from metacity though. I was hoping beryl would have it but I don't see it
anywhere.

Comment 15 Sertaç Ö. Yıldız 2006-10-05 14:27:31 UTC
* beryl-manager uses pidof which is not in $PATH
* how about adding gnome-window-decorator and compiz to beryl-manager managed
window managers/decorators list?

This should probably be tracked in the beryl-manager package review bug (bug
209260), not this one. But I did just upload a -2 build of beryl-manager that
fixes the pidof problem and adds gnome-window-manager and compiz to the
beryl-manager menu (tested it out, works great, only caveat is that when
changing from beryl to compiz, you need to switch from beryl/emerald to
beryl/gnome-window-decorator to compiz, or the window decorations in compiz get
tanked).

Comment 17 Lars G 2006-10-05 22:43:29 UTC
a check with rpmlint tells "unstripped-binary-or-object"
on all packages, so i filed it here.

Comment 18 Jarod Wilson 2006-10-05 23:23:11 UTC
Which packages? The compiz-quinn ones or my beryl/emerald ones? I ask, because I
get no such thing w/the beryl and emerald packages, just this:

$ rpmlint beryl-* emerald-*
W: beryl-core-devel no-documentation
W: emerald-devel no-documentation


Comment 19 Lars G 2006-10-05 23:40:11 UTC
did this on your beryl/emerald ones, but it looks like a config issue on my side. 
just checked some other rpms i compiled lately and they show the same problem.
so this was false alarm, sorry.


Comment 20 Lars G 2006-10-20 22:13:19 UTC
just noticed that beryl 0.1.1 is out.
see http://blog.beryl-project.org/?p=13

Comment 21 Jarod Wilson 2006-10-26 15:29:38 UTC
I've pushed 0.1.1 updates for all previously built beryl components (and will
work on a beryl-dbus package when I get the chance). Also, I'm closing this bug
as a dupe of the beryl-core one, please use that bug or the respective beryl
sub-package bugs for any further discussion on beryl.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 209259 ***

Comment 22 Trever Adams 2006-11-13 14:04:55 UTC
Seeing the differences between compiz and beryl, I think I would like beryl in
fedora core.
