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! --Chris 0 [bug #246442]
Good luck Chris - I'm glad someone with more time can take on these ports.
ping
I'll work on this

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!
(In reply to Chris Hutchinson from comment #0) > 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 have now read your plan and approach in bug 246442, so the question of creating new ports is indeed relevant.
Correction: in comment 8 and comment 9, I meant 'for a month', not 'since a month'...
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. :-) --Chris
