[Blueprint xubuntu-c-development] Xubuntu 18.10: Development

 

Blueprint changed by Sean Davis:

Whiteboard changed:
  Xubuntu Core (Base):
  - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/livecd-rootfs/xubuntu-base
  - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base
  - URL: https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/ubuntu-cdimage/xubuntu-base
  
  Pidgin theme:
  - URL: https://github.com/shimmerproject/pidgin-elementary
  - Pidgin will require patching to support installing this theme globally
  
  bzr-to-git migration:
  - The plan is to migrate all of our branches to git to have a consistent development workflow.
  - Work has already started on the xubuntu seed: https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimonq2/ubuntu-seeds/+git/xubuntu
  
  lp-to-xfce migration:
  - We develop two Xfce applications in Launchpad. Migrating these back upstream should boost contributions.
  
- Improved developer documentation. Useful topics to cover:
- - Configuring development environment for Xfce and Xubuntu
- - Debian packaging for Xubuntu packages (including gbp)
- - Launchpad git workflow
- - Release process for applications (similar to the Xfce docs)
- - Standard SRU practices to backport fixes to LTS
- 
  Xfce 4.13 components to include (https://pad.ubuntu.com/NMSlV657ha):
  - thunar (several plugins yet to be ported)
  - xfdesktop4 (with thunar)
  - xfce4-appfinder
  - xfconf (maybe, will start transition)
  - xfce4-panel (requires xfconf)
  - xfce4-settings (requires xfconf)
  - xfce4-session (maybe)
