xfce-4.14.2 updates from MX 19 test repo (now in main)

[Stevo]

This can be easily done in MXPI from the test repo tab by unchecking the box to hide library packages, and then searching for "xfce", and marking all upgradeable packages.

The whiskermenu and thunar updates don't have to be updated along with the rest, but I'd like to push them to main along with the rest, if possible, so please test those, too.

Is there a change log? I assume these are minor bugfixes and tweaks.

I think you have to go back to XFCE's source pages to get those. I got most of these from upstream Debian, and they just list Debian packaging-related things like:

Code: Select all

exo (0.12.11-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Unit 193 ]
  * d/watch: Update for upstream's move to mirrorbit.

  [ Yves-Alexis Perez ]
  * d/control: update standards version to 4.4.1
  * New upstream version 0.12.11
  * d/control: update dh compat level to 12
  * d/control: bump gtk3 b-dep to 3.22

Since I jumped ahead of Debian for whiskermenu, and our devs take a special interest in that package, I did make a little extra effort to list the changes since 2.3.5 in my debian/changelog:

Thanks for your info.

MX-19.1 has just been released and looks really sharp. Give people a few days to play with it. Then when they know the system a little bit better they might try packages from test. I have too little experience with MX 19 and Xfce 4.14 to identify specific behavior, but that will change.

It looks like updates aren't critical, more like fit and finish.

Installed all xfce from test repo except docbarx . So far no issues.

[Stevo]

The updates don't appear to have made it to that French mirror yet: http://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributi ... ol/test/x/

as compared to this one: http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/pool/test/x/

[dolphin_oracle]

for those wondering, the USA-UT repo tends to update the fastest.
