desktop+lxqt+extra contains some qtdesktop bits that do not
relate directly to lxqt. Therefore, it makes it difficult
to use use/x11/lxqt for the more basic builds based on lxqt.
The overcomplicated scheme tacked the difference between
p7/t7 and sisyphus-armh of those days that's not there
anymore; all of those repos carry kde4-plasma-nm and not
plasma-applet-networkmanager.
It's been replaced by e18 and eventually the rolling
enlightenment package long ago, in fact missing by p8;
moksha might be a worthy replacement but now just drop
the good ol' stable bits in the profile either.
It's missing in sisyphus (and the last maintainer
was desperate with efforts required to keep it going),
just drop the cruft; if it ever returns, we'll revert this.
These have been broken by p8 already, and missing in sisyphus;
kde4 is broken in sisyphus but that's still not irreversible
(unlike our old and unmaintained TDE build, sigh).
It turns out that -regular pulls in too much
(including xfce-polkit that doesn't work with
sysvinit); let's provide means to have it both
ways, need xfce4 4.12-alt5 or later metapackage
for this change to be effective.
The problem at hand was that use/x11/xorg has been final,
and zerg@ just couldn't switch from nouveau to nvidia
when kdesktop needs that one.
Initial approach included a "big" FREE/PROP switch that
chose the particular KMODULES/PACKAGES to get added to
THE_* but that fails to achieve e.g. nvidia+radeon combo;
looks like these need individual switches.
icon-theme-oxygen is required by kf5-oxygen <- kde5 <- kde5-big
by now so it's not needed to specify it explicitly anymore;
and zerg@ has just packaged some translations, let's jump in!
This makes use of IM_PACKAGES variable processed by
newly added im feature so that DE-specific targets
could tell which DE-specific IM packages they'd like
on a system *iff* use/im has been requested.
Might be lacking right now, to be sorted out with
the actual users.
This project has evolved/merged into LXQt which has been
packaged for both p7/t7 and sisyphus by now, no need to
carry on deprecated bits.
NB: 0.6.x still have it as t6/p6 still bear razorqt.
E19 would ask the user if they want to shut down
when facing power button event; it won't get a chance
though as the system will hurl down immediately as per
acpid-events-power package provided configuration.
This is a similar trouble: p7/t7 branches had
plasma-applet-networkmanager while sisyphus has
switched to kde4-plasma-nm* (there's a bunch of
subpackages there, basically all of them desired).
Looks like today's xorg won't autoload radeon_drv but
insists on ati_drv falling back to fbdev if it's not there;
FlightGear runs definitely slow on C-60 APU with that.
I didn't specify ati since it pulls r128 and mach64 modules in
which are rather useless in this context (accelerated 3D graphics).
The use/x11/nvidia/optimus target will pull the bits required
to operate NVIDIA Optimus GPU scheme which relies on integrated
GPU to actually drive the screen; much thanks to barssc@ for
good walkthrough: http://altlinux.org/optimus
NB: this *will* break if nouveau gets in, YHBW.
It was implemented in a pretty quick-and-dirty way
for regular-mate back then, clean things up a bit.
Package lists should be deduplicated either but
that's another story.
This has had several goals:
- a target suitable for x86 and armh providing a rather
minimal set of base xorg packages and generic drivers;
- task-oriented targets for graphics use cases:
+ "desktop" means rather 2D focus with 3D being welcome
or even essential but not performance critical, thus
"a slower driver is fine as long as it does work";
+ "3d" means specific 3D performance being critical,
that is "no 3D means no use at all".
Regarding the free and proprietary 3D-capable drivers:
the previous idea was to split out some common ground
and then add the contenders on top of that; the current
approach is based on the observation that the live images
requiring proprietary NVIDIA/AMD drivers *by default*
are usually of not much use with hardware that lacks
proper 3D acceleration (like Tseng cards) or the driver
support for that (like Matrox these days).
Intel videodriver makes for a special case though:
it is both free and top-notch performer.
Thanks sem@ and boyarsh@ for discussion.
PS: xorg-drv-{keyboard,mouse,void} dropped;
those who need these can usually help themselves.
