Why doesn't compiz-fusion ebuild support the amd64 architecture?
#2 gip on 2007-10-24 14:13 (Reply)
Because I don't have an amd64 to test and it's policy to only keyword stuff on arch's the dev owns.

I think some guys from the amd64-crew will look at it soon.

Ich frage mich noch immer, wofür man so etwas braucht. ;)

Naja, »brauchen« ist so ne Sache. Ich brauche auch keine Poster an der Wand und keine Pflanzen auf dem Fensterbrett. Aber es macht meinen Wohnraum gemütlicher.

Genauso seh ich das mit einem Desktop mit Design. Es ist halt einfach netter, wenn das, was man da vor sich hat, auch nett aussieht. Desweiteren gibt es sogar Studien darüber, dass Designkriterien die gefühlte Usability stark beeinflussen, was imho auch einer der Gründe für den Erfolg von MacOS X ist.

Is it normal it pulls in TWO versions of x11-themes/emerald-themes? Here's what I get:

dell marc # emerge -pv compiz-fusion

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-themes/emerald-themes-0.1.3', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-wm/emerald-0.1.3', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-themes/emerald-themes-0.5.2', 'merge') pulled in by
('ebuild', '/', 'x11-wm/compiz-fusion-0.6.0', 'merge')

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Nice work! I had the same problem as Marc, and I have to start compiz with LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1, but it now runs fine. I like the snow ;-)

Is there some kind of "beryl-manager" for fusion?
#5 Randalf on 2007-10-26 23:29 (Reply)
If fusion-icon (currently only in xeffects) could be moved to portage, all this start errors would fade away because of its really good auto-detection (also it provides a neat icon in the notification area).
