Description Ricardo Naranjo 2020-03-04 14:34:14 CET

Description of problem:
Mageia7's repositories have the previous version of compiz (0.8), this version have lot of issues solved in 0.9.
At Mageia6 I used mate-desktop in combination with compiz-0.9.13 (from the official repositories) and that works apropiately.
Now if I try to install compiz 0.9 from Mageia6's repositories I get several dependency conflicts that blocks the installation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.13

How reproducible:
On a Mageia 7 with mate-desktop and all the official repositories activated, open MCC go to hardware and try to activate 3d effects -> compiz fusion, that procedure will install compiz-0.8 and you'll get lot of issues.

On a Mageia 6 with mate-desktop and all the official repositories activated  (testing and debug deactivated), open MCC go to hardware and activate 3d effects -> compiz fusion, that procedure will install compiz-0.9 and you could amazingly work with 3D effects.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install mageia 7
2. activate all repositories but testing and debug.
3. update your system
4. go to MCC -> Hardware -> 3D
5. activate compiz fusion
6. you'll get a compiz-0.8 (downgraded) version.

Wally, you switched to the reloaded branch here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/compiz/current/SPECS/compiz.spec?r1=1296745&r2=1339344

So I guess you can give more info about this...

Hi all, I see that the compiz version has been downgraded. Looking more closely, I see that the mageia package is based on the gitlab version: https://gitlab.com/compiz/compiz-core which is also downgraded to version 0.8.18.

A look at madb.magiea.org and I see that the Mageia 6 package was based on the launchpad version: https://launchpad.net/compiz which has version 0.9.14 updated at the end of 2022 with improvements and new features compared to the Mageia 9 version.

It would be convenient to upgrade in Mageia 9 to this newer version of compiz.

Greetings!!!
