- 1) Slackware still ships the old 0.8.8 release of compiz that was
- released back in 2011. The project has recently been picked up
- and is being actively maintained by the compiz-reloaded team.
- You can still use the 0.8.8 version of the compiz that ships
- with Slackware with the companion packages since there has not been
- any ABI changes to the code. But there is a good chance you will run
- into stabilty issues if you do, so it is HIGHLY recommended you use
- the version of compiz that matches the companion packages. Because
- you will be replacing a stock Slackware package the SlackBuild is
- not hosted at www.slackbuilds.org. You can download the SlackBuild
- from the link below.
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/t08cb1u00he4cyo/compiz-0.8.14-SlackBuild.tar.gz
- This SlackBuild is based off the 14.2 stock Slackware SlackBuild so you
- shouldn't run into any problems. If you do use this version of compiz you
- will need to blacklist compiz in your /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file to keep
- slackpkg from reverting the package back to 0.8.8
- 2) Compiz now has basic support for the MATE desktop. You will have to install
- MATE before you install compiz for support. The MATE slackware project
- website is located here https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/
- 3) The compizconfig-backend-kconfig4 package has been removed from the
- project so if you are upgrading from a previous version you will want
- to remove this package. Also compiz-plugins-unsupported has now been
- renamed to compiz-plugins-experimental so you will need to remove
- compiz-plugins-unsupported before you upgrade to the newest packages.
- 4) The install order has compiz listed twice. libcompizconfig depends
- on compiz, but compiz has some extra window decorator related features
- that depend on libcompizconfig. So if you want these extra features you
- will have to recompile compiz again AFTER you build and install
- libcompizconfig. This is not required it is just an option if you want
- to do it.
- 5) After you install compiz and the companion packages you will need to
- launch CCSM and enable "Move", "Resize Window", and "Window Decorations"
- before you start compiz. This way you can manage your windows. After
- you enable those three options you can start compiz and customize to
- your liking.
