The Final Zone project

All I can say about the incoming Fedora Core 5 Test 2 theme is: wow. The bootspash screen, the login session screen and the wallpaper got a nice treatment courtesy of Diana Fong, a Red Hat graphic design. Only downside are the icons that seems to look out of place. I wonder if there are decent artists that can make icons for the whole desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, XFCE to name a few).

At last, gdesklets version 0.35.2 is available on Fedora Extras for all architectures. Rawhide version did not build due to the new dependancies caused by the modular X11R7. I fixed it by adding libXau and libXdmcp development as Build requirement. Thank you Fedora developers for making gdesklets possible on Fedora and I am glad to have Warren Togami as sponsor.

An user from Fedora Forum created an interesting wallpaper with Fedora new logo . I added on my rawhide desktop to see if it fits to the new clearlook theme.

I decided to display the srpms I have done for Fedora Extras extras. It is my first package I built from scratch. As the result, it took me 21 rebuilts especially related to the symlink. I had to use some hacks until I found a way to do a better symlink. The binary is functional though. Have fun rebuilding it. I am open to improve the spec files. gdesklets-0.35.2-21.src.rpm

Ahem.... 1...2..3... My first contact with the world of blog aka livejournal. I am currently involved in Fedora Project. Current objectives are translating Fedora Project website in French. Fortunately, there is another french translator so the task will be much easier. I am currently waiting for gdesklets packages to be reviewed further now that I got sponsorshed by Warren Togami, Fedora Project founder and Red Hat employee. It tooks me 21 compiles to make sure gdesklets follows Fedora Extras norm. From fedoraforum.org, I learned the existance of adesklets . Hopefully someone will choose to port this package for Fedora Extras.
