CVS layout proposal

[Jasper Huijsmans]

Hey,

Some thoughts on CVS and stuff. All these are things that should/might
be done somewhere around the final release date.

IMO our CVS has become a bit of a mess. Some things are bundled, some
are not, some are called xfce4-* some are not. I'll make some
suggestions here to improve our CVS layout. Please comment.


directory layout:

* rename toplevel directories: 
  xfce-stable -> xfce3, xfce-devel -> xfce4

* rename libxfcegui4 to libxfce4gui : non-trivial, because all modules
  must be updated. Although it does not affect its working I find the
  different naming compared to the other libs rather annoying. Perhaps
  it's just me ;-) 

* Other renames:
  xfce4 -> xfce4-panel
  xfce-utils -> xfce4-utils
  xfce-mcs-* -> xfce4-mcs-*
  xfdesktop -> xfce4-desktop
  xfprint ->xfce4-print


module bundling:

* xfce-utils. This module doesn't entirely work for me; it either
  contains  too much or too little. A possible solution: 
  rename to xfce4-common and move the taskbar to a separate module
  (xfce4-taskbar?). Then it only contains things that are used by more
  than  one other module (scripts, xfrun) or deal with the desktop
  environment as  a whole (docs, xfce4-about).

* xfce4-toys: only contains xfce4-tips and xfce4-eyes plugin. Splitting
  up  would be better, I think.

* We could make an xfce4-panel-plugins module with all plugins in
  extras.  Don't know about that. We could also move them to the new
  xfce4-goodies repository if that becomes availabe.


CVS branches:

* I'd like to start using CVS branches properly after the 4.0
  release. HEAD for devel, named branch for bugfix releases, e.g HEAD
  for 4.1.x, xfce_4_0_branch for 4.0.x releases.


What do you think?
