Screenlets repo

[DeathFromAbove]

I could not find Screenlets in the Fedora repos.

Anyone have repos for Screenlets?

You are talking about GNOME screenlets rights? these? I don't think these are going to work with GNOME 3.x - at least as far as I know.

Yes thats the one. I forgot to mention im using xfce.

The rpm linked works ok here with cinnamon or gnome-shell as long as you use nautilus to draw the desktop.

Screenlets work quite fine on GNOME3, KDE, LXDE etc, probably also XFCE (haven't tried that one). However, I don't have a repository for you, but you can package it yourself.

By now Screenlets is actively packaged only for Ubuntu (up to version 0.1.6 in Ubuntu repos). There was once some automatic packaging for SUSE build system, one can pick it up, you can find it by googleing "universal-applets pkg-scripts".

Thanks for the info. I tried some of the screenlets once (I think in GNOME 3.0/F15) and I had a bad time. I will check it out again sometime.

It seems Screenlets have been packaged for Arch Linux couple of weeks ago. So I presume some apparent Ubuntu specific hacks in the code shouldn't be an obstacle for running Screenlets on other systems.

Oh yeah ! I saw that yesterday too. Same thoughts - I still have not got around to installing. May be I will directly try it in my F17 machine
