<div>Hi Cyrille,<br></div><div dir="auto">I'm not sure if you're aware, but with xfce-test[1] it's possible to develop with a container and graphics are provided via Xephyr. Alternatively, a virtual machine is a lot simpler.<br></div><div><br></div><div dir="auto">1 - <a href="https://github.com/schuellerf/xfce-test">https://github.com/schuellerf/xfce-test</a><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div>Cheers,<br></div><div>Andre Miranda<br></div><div><br></div><div>Aug 1, 2021, 09:06 by cyrille@enialis.net:<br></div><blockquote class="tutanota_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid #93A3B8; padding-left: 10px; margin-left: 5px;"><p>Hi Alistair,<br></p><p>If you want to contribute to Xfce-next even if your OS doesn’t have the required libs, you could compile required libraries in custom location, it’s not that hard, it just takes time.<br></p><p>If your contribution does not involve graphics or does not involve Xfce components interactions, you could also use a docker environment.<br></p><p>I ever wonder if it’s possible (meaning simple enough) to build against flatpak libraries (because it’s really easy to have a flatpak stack with recent Glib & co libraries)<br></p><p>My 2¢.<br></p><p>Cyrille<br></p><div id="signature"> <br></div><p><br></p><p id="reply-intro">Le 2021-07-31 05:27, Alistair Buxton a écrit :<br></p><blockquote style="padding: 0 0.4em; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin: 0" type="cite"><div id="replybody1"><div dir="ltr">I use Ubuntu LTS so this will effectively exclude me from contributing any patches until 2022, unless you want untested code.<br></div><div><br></div><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">On Fri, 30 Jul 2021 at 18:45, <<a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="mailto:andre@andreldm.com" target="_blank">andre@andreldm.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote data-darkreader-inline-border-left="" style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #cccccc; padding-left: 1ex;" class=""><div><div>Hi Romain,<br></div><div dir="auto">I agree with you and Alex, current "stable" distros should stick to 4.16, their next versions should target 4.18 if we don't delay it too much.
