Greetings. 

As you know xfce recently was dropped from Fedora Core. I have
volunteered to maintain it for the Fedora Extras repository. 

Toward that end I have created 4.2.0 (and just tonight) 4.2.1 rpms for
Fedora Extras. They can be found at: 

http://www.scrye.com/~kevin/fedora-extras/

I made a number of changes to the spec files to make them conform to
the Fedora Extras guidelines. I would be happy to help merge these
changes with you guys if you find them of use/interest. 

I ran into a few other questions/issues: 

- - What is the liscence for dbh? It ships with a GPL COPYING file, the
spec file says "Liscence: QPL", and the src files say "published under
LGPL Public license". I assume it's supposed to be LGPL?

- - in dbh, /usr/share/doc/dbh-devel-1.0.22/simple_hash.c is a file with
DOS line endings. 

- - in gtk-xfce-engine, all the /usr/share/themes/Xfce*/ICON.png files
are 0 length. Is that correct?

- - in xfce4-toys: /usr/share/xfce4/eyes/themes/Horrid/config is a file
with DOS line endings. 

- - Everything builds and works great under Fedora Core 3. Under
develeopment however, xffm fails to build. Here's the last bit of the
compile: 

 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../src -I../smb

I haven't had a chance to look closely, but if anyone has any idea off
hand what the problem could be I would appreciate it. Happy to provide
more information or even access to my development test box to work on
it. 

- - Terminal 0.2.2 also fails to build under development, but thats
because there is major dbus changes. I plan on trying to setup the
pre1 Terminal in the next few days. 

Hopefully there will be some Fedora Extras testing packages pushed out
in a few days after I get everything checked into the build setup
there. 

Anyhow, any comments, questions or thoughts welcome. 

thanks for a great product!
