Hello: I had been working on a compiz package for the Debian X Strike Force team a few years back but they were never interested. I based it on their git repository and have been updating it since before compiz was removed from Debian.
The package is in here https://github.com/micove/compiz It builds in amd64 and armel (well it's at 22% and slowwlllly compiling with qemu) and tries to maintain an upgrade path with 0.8.4-5.2 and 0.9.2.1+git20110224.cb1268cb-1 that were previously in squeeze/sid/experimental. The package does not play nice with Ubuntu since it's based in the Debian package therefore the unity stuff is missing and need a soname bump among other things. The current source in http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-a11y/compiz.git is a bit broken since dh-exec code does not work because the file is not executable and multiarch in general does not work among other things. Also the upgrade path for Debian is broken too since the package is clearly based on the Ubuntu one. Debian had packages like compiz-fusion-plugins-{main,extra,unsupported} that never were in Ubuntu while providing transitional packages for packages that were never in Debian. Basically several packages had different names and even packages with the same name had different files which needs a different set of transitional packages and Break/Replaces. Not sure what the status of this packaging is but I hope this helps, Miguel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
