Re: [gnome-flashback] metacity and gtk3

[László Boros <iamsemmu gmail com>]

Hi everyone!

It's great to see other devs interested in MATE! Porting metacity to GTK3 is my task, but right now I had to pause it a bit, since I'm studying at a university and the semester has begun, hence I don't really have time for it. I will continue to work on it, but first I have to arrange things here, then I can focus on the porting.

By the way I found a metacity port on GNOME git under mutter, isn't that what you are looking for? https://git.gnome.org/browse/mutter/tag/?id=3.0.0 (you made me unsure a bit, since that is the source I'm working "from", it is a great help)

When the work is done it will be merged back into mate-window-manager of course, but I don't know if it will be merged into metacity.

Greets,

Laszlo

Yes, one attempt I am aware of is the work of Laszlo Boros (Semmu), who
worked on porting mate-window-manager (a metacity fork) in this year's GSoC.
He blogged about it here: http://mategsoc.tumblr.com/

Laszlo, could you give us an update of the status of this work ? Is it
finished ? Was it merged back into mate-window-manager ? Are you
interested in merging it back into metacity ?

I'm also CCing the currently-listed metacity maintainers, in case they
are aware of any other porting efforts. BTW guys, are you on the
gnome-flashback-list ?

Cheers,
