I have tested images made from the 2 new tasks on some of my OMAP3 boards and all seems well. For now it adds an xfce46.bbclass to support the builds and lives alongside of XFCE 4.4 but in fairness I would like to propose dropping XFCE 4.4.* from dev (and leaving it in stable/2009 for now). I have also taken the liberty of renaming xfce to xfce-base and adding an xfce-extras folder to house the non-core apps (gigolo, squeeze, xfce4-notifyd, that sort of thing). I would also like to clean up the XFCE recipes scattered around the tree but that has a bearing on if XFCE 4.4 remains supported in-tree. Any comments? Regards, John -- > What is a grue? The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favourite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
