Created attachment 214478 [details]
svn diff for compiz & related

x11-wm/compiz and many, if not all it's plugins are
currently unfetchable. The MASTER_SITES listed, while
still visible, will not surrender the files upon request.
This has been the case since ~2012. This is explained,
as well as future plans for the compiz & related ports
in [bug #246442]. So I'll not rewrite them here. The
current maintainer for this and several other related
ports indicated that I could take over MAINTAINER for
all compiz, and related ports he currently maintains[0]

The svn diff attached to this pr transfers compiz,
and the related ports Dan maintains to me. It also
changes MASTER_SITES for these ports. So that they
can be built again.

CHANGES

Makefile:
MASTER_SITES
MAINTAINER

That's it. Thanks!

Hi all,

What great news to see people are still interested in using compiz! I have got news too ;-)

I have been working on porting compiz-reloaded to FreeBSD for quite some time. I started in August 2018, e.g.

https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core/-/commit/9087c38d59a448693560d355761ff38fba4737cc
https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core/-/commit/24fa922b94cc6f126f778e07af5df34f3fc4c24e

I have been working again on this since a month and have pending changes that are WIP upstream (mainly intltool-to-gettext migration and build-related changes):

https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-plugins-main/-/merge_requests/82/commits
https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-plugins-extra/-/merge_requests/44/commits

FreeBSD ports are also nearly finished. I thought I would, at some point, ask to create new ports with a "-reloaded" suffix to let both compiz and compiz-reloaded ports coexist or request updates.

I also thank Daniel Austin for his work, really appreciated ! I am so dependent on Compiz ;-)

> I have been working again on this since a month
It has become quite urgent since ccsm has been EOLed, but hopefully compiz-reloaded has python3-ready ccsm!

I have now read your plan and approach in bug 246442, so the question of creating new ports is indeed relevant.
Comment 11 Samy Mahmoudi 2020-06-16 13:26:27 UTC 
Correction: in comment 8 and comment 9, I meant 'for a month', not 'since a month'...
Comment 12 Chris Hutchinson 2020-06-16 17:34:31 UTC 
Hello, Samy. Welcome aboard! :-)
We should probably collaborate on this. But bugzilla
isn't the place. ;-)
Please feel free to email me directly. Maybe preface
the topic with compiz: so I can be sure to catch it. :-)

Sure, my pleasure.

> Please feel free to email me directly.
I'll definitely do that.
