Very cool, but I'm afraid we need all the lxde components stabilized before we can add this to our tree, as we can't recommend ~arch for all this stuff.

Might want to talk to yngwin et al to see what their stabilization plans are. Not just for lxde-base/* but also for the other components like pcmanfm.

I made the bug and CCed him on it in hopes that he will see it.  I'm planning on talking with Ben sometime soon about these issues.  He is my mentor for my developer status, as I'm going to work on LXDE.  I figured it couldn't be done because of all the ~arch stuff.  I just wanted to get the bug listed for it.  Thanks for all that you do Josh! :)
Comment 4 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-08-13 18:14:53 UTC
Nice work. I guess we could develop this guide in our LXDE project space first, and when we stable lxde-meta-0.4.2 next month (hopefully) it can go into the documentation section.
Comment 5 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-29 19:09:31 UTC
I've done a slight edit, and uploaded it to our LXDE project webspace:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/lxde/lxde-howto.xml

Please let us know if you have any improvements.
Comment 6 Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-29 19:14:04 UTC
Looks really good, and I'm glad to see it at least in the project documentation area.  Thanks Ben!
Comment 7 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-30 09:05:18 UTC
Still want this in our main doc repo, guys? Now that it's stable and all. :)
Comment 8 Nathan Zachary (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-30 16:10:13 UTC
I will make some updates to it (since the packages are now stable), and will upload the changes as an attachment.  Thanks for reminding me, Josh. :)

This is the new version of the LXDE HOWTO (1.2).  There are several semantic changes, as well as updates regarding keywording (as LXDE is now stable).
Comment 10 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-30 19:04:17 UTC
Thanks; I'll add it.
Comment 11 nm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-30 19:20:28 UTC
Okay, I reviewed the guide, made lots of minor changes, and got it into the tree. It's in our Desktop Documentation section with the other DE guides.

Thanks for all your hard work, folks! Lookin' beautiful.
