Hello I'm looking for testers I've been working on this update for some time now and using it on my work laptop daily. https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281737 I'll consolidate here what is in the PR x11/cinnamon: update to 5.8 Components: - lang/cjs to 5.8.0 - misc/cinnamon-translations to 5.8.2 - sysutils/cinnamon-control-center to 5.8.2 - sysutils/cinnamon-settings-daemon to 5.8.1 - x11-fm/nemo to 5.8.5 - x11-wm/muffin to 5.8.1 - x11/cinnamon-desktop to 5.4.2 - x11/cinnamon-menus to 5.8.0 - x11/cinnamon-screensaver to 5.8.1 - x11/cinnamon-session to 5.8.1 - x11/cinnamon to 5.8.4 - x11/py-python-xapp to 2.4.2 - x11/xapp to 2.8.5 Issues found in other ports while I was working on it: - https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281844 (committed) - https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281809 - https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=281993 I'd love it if someone would look at those and commit them. I think I fixed almost all problems I found and all existing bugzilla PRs that you can find by "cinnamon" pattern are covered by my PR. The things that are not working properly so far - you can change the timezone in the cinnamon-settings calendar. It does change /etc/localtime, but this is not reflected on the bottom time panel. Relogin is a workaround. - do NOT try changing password for users via cinnamon-settings-users, please. You'll end up wiping root password (it'll set root pwd to nothing). This issue is outside of cinnamon. Seems like a non-linux-os-specific bug somewhere between gobject-introspection and accountsservice (accounts-daemon). I bet nobody ever checked this on FreeBSD. It can be triggered by a simple python script. I'm investigating this right now. I can share details if one is interested. Other cinnamon-settings-users functionality is fine. Thank you! P. S. my further plan is to start porting the latest cinnamon version in December or January. Probably it will be 6.4.
