UNEMERGEFULL!
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce#Emerge is unemergefull.. Someone should update it so that it doesn't have wrong commands and is simple to understand.

Can't do it by myself since it's indexed.

 * , you're going to need to be a little more clear regarding what you want changed. Title's like "UNEMERGEFUL" are not descriptive. Also, don't forget to use the Talk template when you open new discussions so that they can be tracked. I have added the template for you this time. --Maffblaster (talk) 16:46, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * ː Noted

1) It's recommended to invoke `emerge --ask xfce-base/xfce4-meta xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd` followed by `emerge --ask --deselect=y xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd` which is uneffective i believe. End-user should be informed only to invoke `xfce-base/xfce4-meta` and as addition to that `xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd` and the rest with additional informations.

2) `emerge --ask xfce-base/xfwm4 xfce-base/xfce4-panel` where `xfce-base/xfwm4` is invalid afaik.

 * Got it. It's been a while since I installed XFCE, so probably these instructions need updated. You can update them if you want to take the time to install XFCE. :) --Maffblaster (talk) 18:02, 17 September 2018 (UTC)


 * ː Ok fix indexing after plz i've just installed xfce4 on `Tomiska` (1core at 1,42Ghz notebook with docking station running gentoo to run PS2 emulator) so i add more things if neccesary.

Or mby can you provide me the instructions to indexing? Or like are they even neccesary?

EDITː xfce-base/xfwm4 it included in gentoo repo, but wasn't when i emerge it on Tomiska.. Possibly not available on i686 ? Verifing now

Suggested edit archiveː

It is time to install the complete Xfce desktop!

Without explicitly including in the  command,  will draw in GNOME's  instead. So install it together with and later deselect it so it is not included in the world file:

OR

OLD VERSION
xfce-base/xfwm4 is available in gentoo repo on amd64 and i686. (my bad? It wasn't when i tried to emerge it before..)

Well i would at least recommend adding explanation to what is the difference between xfce-base/xfwm4 and xfce-base/xfce4-meta otherwise solved.

xarchiver is not available in the Portage tree
Excuse me my English (that is why I write comment, not trying to update article) Article needs in update. is outdated and AFAIR already removed from tree.

For just now Thunar's feature of custom actions together with commandline archive tools could be used instead. I have to have  in  for the restart/shutdown/suspend/hibernate buttons to work in XFCE4. Perhaps it could be mentioned in the article. --Renergy (talk) 20:09, 11 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, Renergy! I checked on my system and it looks like is still available in Portage. I will look into the   option you used to start Xfce. I believe this is needed if the   USE flag has been set on the login manager. :) --Maffblaster (talk) 01:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Bug #498436
 As of writing, the result of bug, having confused 'dconf' and 'dbus', apparently for the sake of allowing GNOME people to write sloppier ebuilds, forces dconf for virtually everyone using glib regardless of using GNOME or not. Putting glib into an overlay for the time being using the following patch will avoid the issue until it's properly resolved: --- /usr/portage/dev-libs/glib/glib-2.46.2-r2.ebuild   2016-03-01 09:11:54.000000000 -0800 +++ /usr/local/portage/dev-libs/glib/glib-2.46.2-r2.ebuild     2016-03-01 19:10:38.993947815 -0800 @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ LICENSE="LGPL-2+" SLOT="2" -IUSE="dbus fam kernel_linux +mime selinux static-libs systemtap test utils xattr" +IUSE="dbus dconf fam kernel_linux +mime selinux static-libs systemtap test utils xattr" REQUIRED_USE="       utils?

mousepad

 * Any discussion on this should be done here., please discuss your reasoning for desiring this patch to be in the main Xfce article before moving it again. At least three Gentoo devs are unified on this point. --Maffblaster (talk) 00:32, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
