Hello,

not build on RHEL6 :

I'm working on the FTBFS.
OK, here's my argument for letting compton-tde through. You can override
me if you want. :-)
1.) kompmgr has a critical bug where, after a certain amount of time,
popup menus will stop displaying. I have tried and tried to repair this,
but have had no success in over 12 months of sporadic work. This bug
alone means kompmgr should be marked for developers only in R14, but if
that were done TDE would have no fully compatible compositors available
for end users. I saw compton as a way out. ;-)
2.) compton-tde is pretty much feature-equivalent to kompmgr (it was
derived from xcompmgr just like kompmgr was), but has a whole ton of bug
fixes from a dedicated team working on it for over two years.
3.) kompmgr and compton-tde are both standalone binaries that do not
interface with any TDE code (their "interfaces" are one configuration file
and several Xorg atoms). After the FTBFS is repaired the effect of
changing one out for the other (aside from the bug fixes and performance
improvements in compton) should be minimal to nonexistent.
Let me know what you think!

I would like to avoid one of those big discussions that sometimes get
started, but I fully agree with Darrell.
We set a freeze state to focus on the finalization of the 14.0.0 release, trying to avoid
last minute major changes.
The point is to avoid repeating the same pattern followed last year, where freeze state
was declared in July and then renames, changes, additions .... were applied, basically
resulting in a cancellation of the freeze state.

I can disable the compton-tde build if required (it's a one-line patch),
this is not a problem. However, bear in mind that I did the because I
don't want to release kompmgr with R14 due to its myriad user-visible
problems. As a result, we would have *no* TDE-compatible compositor
officially available if compton-tde is disabled, forcing users to either
use kwin instead of twin or compile kompmgr/compton-tde manually if they
want compositing. I personally see this kind of thing as something the
distro maintainers would likely override (with a small distro-specific
patch) for a better user experience regardless of what we choose.
Remember as well that kompmgr always was alpha-level software, and that by
switching to compton-tde we are keeping feature parity but gaining
stability (I personally would rate compton-tde as beta quality with the
possibility to go to stable class in the release after R14).
To avoid any long discussions, how about the main dev team (myself,
Darrell, Slavek, and you) simply cast votes on this one-time override?
My vote: switch to compton-tde as the official compositor, but do not
disable or delete the kompmgr sources until the next release after R14.

Hi Tim,
I understand the reasons why you added compton-tde.
I am not an expert on compositors. From a release point of view, I would prefer a more
conservative approach, to avoid introducing potential new bugs just a few months before a
major release that could affect TDE reviews in a negative way.
We should consider releasing v14.0.0 using kompmgr as the official compositor, but keeping
the compton-tde code in the repo and plan the switch for v14.1.0, so we will have enough
time to test compton throughly.
Anyhow, if you think that compton-tde is stable enough to be used as the official
compositor, I will second your thoughts and agree with its inclusion, because you have
already done a lot of work on it and because it is going to take at least 3 months before
v14.0.0 is ready, so there is still time to fix eventual small problems. But if we start
to see several new issues, we should consider reverting to kompmgr for v14.0.0, as said
above.
On a side note, IMO between here and the v14.0.0 release date it would perhaps be better
to discuss all together in advance if we have other major changes in mind.
Cheers

I was hoping I could fix the menu disappearing bug in kompmgr, but I
couldn't. After watching several users on R14 not know why their menus
were randomly not appearing and hard rebooting off their computers (the
logoff/reboot option is normally available from Kicker, which is a popup
menu), I realized that this was a significant usability issue that should
block the R14 release.

Agreed again. I am just getting back into the swing of things here on the
TDE project (life is finally allowing this!) and didn't think twice about
the commit--all those years where TDE was primarily a one man show make it
hard to break old habits. ;-) My apologies for introducing confusion.

We are early enough in the freeze that the change should make little difference. Just
start hacking on the R14 check list so I can start testing --- I am getting bored. :)

Hi, there...
Now there are some more cmake/build related problems around the compton...
First of all, now it requires libconfig, xinerama, xrandr and opengl as
nonoptional dependencies. I insist that they should be build-time
tweakable with common cmake flags. It seems that xrandr is not required at
build time at all... xinerama and opengl may be easily tweaked... but I'm a
bit concerned about the libconfig. Is there any way to config it without
the lib and do we need this configuration file for TDE to operate fine?
Secondly, it uses it's own CONFIG_* defines rather than tde's
HAVE_*/WITH_*. Is there any reasons to keep CONFIG_-style options?
I'll try prepare some patches...

Try passing -DCONFIG_LIBCONFIG_LEGACY' , or equivalent?
