The tarball landed on sourceforge just now, but the release was about a month ago (see https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=20120417154758.GA13497%40bimsstein&forum_name=lxde-list for details). Some of gotchas I've noticed: - new netstatus plugin (!= older netstat plugin) requires (probably) net-wireless/wireless-tools for iwlib.h - new wnckpager plugin should be disabled by the ebuild; TBH, it shouldn't have entered master, it's broken in many ways (among other: upon unload, it segfaults lxpanel)
Bumped!
A 'minor' thing: when I said, that wnck plugin is broken, I didn't mean it in "I don't like its color scheme" way. It really should be disabled. Also, it would require a dep on libwnck:2.
Well, it is just a plugin. Nobody forces you to use it. Anyway, I disabled it but I really foresee a new bug requesting this plugin to be enabled
Well, one way or another, it should land under a useflags due to the dep. But: - even the author admitted in the release thread it's not working correctly - the segfault is only its most outstanding bug (a hint: G_DISABLE_CAST_CHECKS seems like a good idea, but if you use that, some of the obvious errors get hidden)
Bug 415595 - lxde-base/lxpanel-0.5.9 fails to configure when libwnck is not installed
(In reply to comment #5) > Bug 415595 - lxde-base/lxpanel-0.5.9 fails to configure when libwnck is not > installed Right, the upstream is more broken than I thought (the plugin is optional, so the check shouldn't die). For this ebuild, it should be enough to eautoreconf after changing PKG_CHECK_MODULES(WNCK, [$pkg_modules]) to PKG_CHECK_MODULES(WNCK, [$pkg_modules] , [:], [:]) in configure.ac.
