Xfce is a free software desktop environment for Unix + and Unix-like platforms, such as &os;. It aims to be fast and + lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to + use.

+ +

During this quarter, the team has kept these applications + up-to-date:

+ +

audio/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin 0.2.3
deskutils/orage 4.12.1
deskutils/xfce4-notes-plugin 1.8.1
misc/xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.6
science/xfce4-equake-plugin 1.3.7
sysutils/xfburn 0.5.4

Mathieu Arnold (mat@) committed + PR197878, + updating the Xfce section in the Porter's Handbook.

+ +

We also follow the unstable releases (available in our + experimental repository) of:

+ +

sysutils/garcon 0.5.0 (supports both GTK2 and + GTK3 toolkits)
x11/xfce4-dashboard 0.5.0
x11/xfce4-hotcorner-plugin 0.0.2 (new + plugin)

+ + + + +

Create documentation about usage of + sysutils/xfce4-power-manager (it needs some love, + PR199166).

+ +

Some hidden features were introduced in the 1.5.1 release, + and as we also support ConsoleKit2 (fork of + sysutils/consolekit), help for users is + required.
