Hello all, First I had a problem posting to the list, but that was my fault sorry, forgot to confirm the subscription :)
I am one of the two maintainers of GNOME:Ayatana. Xiao-Lonng Chen did most of Fedora spec files writing, but recently I switched to Fedora too. Chen is now on vacation for a few days. Unity could work basically without too much patches but with limited functionality. utouch- packages don't need any vendor patches nux doesn't need any vendor patches indicator's don't need vendor specific patches With compiz 0.9.8, Ubuntu has restructured the Compiz packages a bit: Everything is now part of the compiz package: - libcompizconfig - python-compizconfig - compiz-plugins (obsoleted compiz-plugins-main) - compiz-plugins-extra (obsoleted compiz-plugins-extra) - compizconfig-backend-gconf so we would need here only one packacke (maybe compiz-unity/ubuntu/ayatan) we use gcc46 now because unity and nux still need to be build with it. gcc47 fails for that At the moment for unity to build/run we need patched: libXfixes (requires a patch coming from debian) xorg-x11-proto (see above patch) xorg-x11-server (else autohide feature from unity launcher does not work) gtk2,3 for the menu export gnome-disk-utility - must build libdu which was removed from upstream in 3.2 The other packages enhance functinoality like gnome-control-center (e.g in appearance be able to change theme) pulseaudio needs ubuntu patches, but pulse 2.0 will obsolete them) gnome-session for a gnome-session file (in theory we could get that in the unity package) bluetooth and NetworkManager to show these indicators in unity What I would propose is to get 1st all indicator and the requires of them into Fedora since they only require few patches indicator-appmenu needs pachted gtk2,3 indicator-time needs patched gnome-control-center but we could start finding a way to get the gtk2,3 with patches and after that dbusmenu etc. Cheers @Xiao-Long see http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-July/170051.html
