Description Eduard Beliaev 2012-10-03 18:16:32 CEST

Hi.

Meet Gala: The Window Manager
http://elementaryos.org/journal/meet-gala-window-manager

"Gala is a young project currently lead by Tom Beckmann (our very own Clutter wizard) and Rico Tzschichholz (of Plank fame). For the past three months we've had designers and developers crunching pixels and code to make it truly come to life."

Could Mageia have it in their repositories?

Assigning this package request to all packagers collectively. On a voluntary basis, one of them might want to integrate it to the distribution and maintain it for bug and security fixes.

You might also want to join the packager team to maintain this piece of software: see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager

Sorry, bugs@ml and pkg-bugs@ml members, for the avalanche.

72 bugs with the "New RPM package request" component, had a severity of "normal" or more, which can lead to losing precious time when searching Bugzilla for bugs that urgently need to get fixed

Now mass-changing that to "enhancement", as it should be for package requests.

@ the reporter of this package request

Please check in http://madb.mageia.org/ whether this software did already get packaged, and close this bug report if it did.
Please do also close it if you find a package with the same purpose, that meets your needs.

Severity: normal => enhancement

The direction of the developement changed over the years. It is now described as "Gala Window Manager for elementary OS and Pantheon".

Elementary OS is now an independent operating system not compatible with Mageia.

Closing as WONTFIX.

Resolution: (none) => WONTFIX
Status: NEW => RESOLVED
