Cinnamon guide (replacement for gnome-shell)

This is looking promising

That was fast! Neat...

It's a shame that the cinnamon review is currently doomed.

Yeah, I agree. It looks like its hung up in Layer 8 -- The Political Layer of the OSI model.

Leigh has been doing a metric crap ton of work on the build but it still keeps getting stalled for review. I am not 100% certain as to what is actually holding it up. Anything we can do to help move it along?

Cinnamon works well yet the package is not approved! Wow! That's woefully ruined!

Well I've done a rawhide build to satisfy the latest hoop I have to jump through.


How high do these mother****ers want me to jump?

I just need a competent reviewer IMO.

Hopefully the stalled review process will get kicked up a bit, and the bugzilla can get a new reviewer. Is there anything we (normal non-packagers) can do to help the reviewer re-selection process?

You do realize that the problem here is ... it's not Gnome Shell. <....>

That's the truth of the matter IMO.
I've never seen such resistance in any reveiw request ever, It was easier to get truecrypt/realcrypt reviewed .

Well I need another reviewer, at least it's free to be taken by the next.

[nonamedotc]

Unzip the folder and move the resulting folder to ~/.local/share/cinnamon/applets.
