| <!-- Self Contained or System Wide Change Proposal?
| |
| Use this guide to determine to which category your proposed change belongs to.
| |
|
| |
| Self Contained Changes are:
| |
| * changes to isolated/leaf package without the impact on other packages/rest of the distribution
| |
| * limited scope changes without the impact on other packages/rest of the distribution
| |
| * coordinated effort within SIG with limited impact outside SIG functional area, accepted by the SIG
| |
|
| |
| System Wide Changes are:
| |
| * changes that does not fit Self Contained Changes category touching
| |
| * changes that require coordination within the distribution (for example mass rebuilds, release engineering or other teams effort etc.)
| |
| * changing system defaults
| |
|
| |
| For Self Contained Changes, sections marked as "REQUIRED FOR SYSTEM WIDE CHANGES" are OPTIONAL but FESCo/Wrangler can request more details (especially in case the change proposal category is
| |
| improper or updated to System Wide category). For System Wide Changes all fields on this form are required for FESCo acceptance (when applies).
| |
|
| |
| We request that you maintain the same order of sections so that all of the change proposal pages are uniform.

| | This change mirgrates Xfce desktop evironment (DE) to latest version provided by upstream developers. This is a near complete GTK-3 migration of the DE. |

|
| <!-- What is the benefit to the distribution? Will the software we generate be improved? How will the process of creating Fedora releases be improved?
| | Other GTK-based DEs such as cinnamon and MATE have already migrated to using GTK-3 libraries. This change proposes to migrate the popular Xfce DE to the latest GTK-3 based versions upstream developers have released. |
|
| |
| Be sure to include the following areas if relevant:
| |
| If this is a major capability update, what has changed?
| |
| For example: This change introduces Python 5 that runs without the Global Interpreter Lock and is fully multithreaded.
| |
| If this is a new functionality, what capabilities does it bring?
| |
| For example: This change allows package upgrades to be performed automatically and rolled-back at will.
| |
| Does this improve some specific package or set of packages?
| |
| For example: This change modifies a package to use a different language stack that reduces install size by removing dependencies.
| |
| Does this improve specific Spins or Editions?
| |
| For example: This change modifies the default install of Fedora Workstation to be more in line with the base install of Fedora Server.
| |
| Does this make the distribution more efficient?
| |
| For example: This change replaces thousands of individual %post scriptlets in packages with one script that runs at the end.
| |
| Is this an improvement to maintainer processes?
| |
| For example: Gating Fedora packages on automatic QA tests will make rawhide more stable and allow changes to be implemented more smoothly.
| |
| Is this an improvement targeted as specific contributors?
| |
| For example: Ensuring that a minimal set of tools required for contribution to Fedora are installed by default eases the onboarding of new contributors.
| |
|
| |
|
| When a Change has multiple benefits, it's better to list them all.
| | This change would result in fewer packages depending on the older GTK-2 libraries and move Xfce to using a modern toolkit. |
| | |

| |
| https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/NoMoreAlpha (an improvement to distro processes)

| This section partially overlaps with the Benefit to Fedora section above. This section should be primarily about the User Experience, written in a way that does not assume deep technical knowledge. More detailed technical description should be left for the Benefit to Fedora section.
| | * A fresh install should have fully functional Xfce DE |
| | * Upgrade from Fedora 28 or older should show no visible changes to the end users. |
| | ** GTK-3 applications will be better integrated |
|
| |
|
| Describe what Users will see or notice, for example:
| | No special configuration or hardware needed. |
| - Packages are compressed more efficiently, making downloads and upgrades faster by 10%.
| |
| - Kerberos tickets can be renewed automatically. Users will now have to authenticate less and become more productive. Credential management improvements mean a user can start their work day with a single sign on and not have to pause for reauthentication during their entire day.
| |
| - Libreoffice is one of the most commonly installed applications on Fedora and it is now available by default to help users "hit the ground running".
| |
| - Green has been scientifically proven to be the most relaxing color. The move to a default background color of green with green text will result in Fedora users being the most relaxed users of any operating system.
