Bug Description
Binary package hint: compiz
The latest git version of libcompiconfig (to be released as 0.8.0 soon according to upstream)
has optional support for the libprotobuf library. This allows caching
of the xml metadata for faster startup. It also means a new dependency against libprotobuf3. There is
a pre-approved MIR for this already (https:/
It requires also a updates to python-compizconfig (universe).
The settings for compiz and compiz-
way of having one global.xml configuration in libcompizconfig is no longer supported with the updated
version. All changes are prepared and tested in the compiz PPA.
Thanks,
Michael
My biggest concern here is that the protobuf .deb is around 500K in size, so this costs us another half meg of space on all the CDs. Why is this library so large?
Is this really all for a 476-line XML config file (/usr/share/ compizconfig/ global. xml)?
