There are a great deal of orphaned Compiz 0.9 packages in the AUR, some for the stable releases and some for bazaar. They are all on around 0.9.5 or 0.9.7. These are the packages I'm referring to:
for stable release: * ccsm-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccsm-dev/ * compiz-plugins-extra-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... extra-dev/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-extra-dev/ * compiz-plugins-main-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... -main-dev/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-main-dev/ * compizconfig-backend-gconf-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/comp ... gconf-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/compizconfig-backend-gconf-dev/> * compizconfig-backend-gsettings-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/comp ... tings-dev/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/compizconfig-backend-gsettings-dev/> * compizconfig-python-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... ython-dev/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-python-dev/ * libcompizconfig-dev -- https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/libcompizconfig-dev/
for development release: * ccsm-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ccsm-bzr/ * compiz-core-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-core-bzr/ * compiz-plugins-extra-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... extra-bzr/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-extra-bzr/ * compiz-plugins-main-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... -main-bzr/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-plugins-main-bzr/ * compizconfig-backend-gconf-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/comp ... gconf-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/compizconfig-backend-gconf-bzr/> * compizconfig-backend-gsettings-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/comp ... tings-bzr/ <https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/compizconfig-backend-gsettings-bzr/> * compizconfig-python-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/comp ... ython-bzr/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compizconfig-python-bzr/ * libcompizconfig-bzr -- https://aur.archlinux.org/ packages/libcompizconfig-bzr/
As I understand it, Compiz upstream no longer packages all these components separately. They are all developed and packaged together in one launchpad project. That is why we have two main packages in the AUR for installing Compiz 0.9, compiz-dev and compiz-bzr. I've had a look on launchpad and this seems to be the case. For instance: The compiz-ccsm page (https://launchpad.net/compiz-ccsm) lists 0.9.5.92 as the latest version when it's actually 0.9.10. Therefore (unless I am much mistaken) all the packages above are obsolete and can never be updated to their latest upstream versions.
I propose that all the dev packages above be merged with compiz-dev ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-dev/)
and all the bazaar packages be merged with compiz-bzr ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/compiz-bzr/)
All done, thx. -- Maxime
