Thibaut,
I should add that it is counter-productive and discouraging to fork the entire compiz* family just because we can't get 0.8.8 in unstable, which would allow me to simply bring back compiz-mate package that was dropped by a Non-maintainer (Michael) in 0.8.4-5.1 (the pre-last update, on 27 Jan).
Since compiz was dropped in testing, it is so much easier for me to build a vanilla compiz 0.8.8 with compiz-mate, for LMDE's repos.
I am not interested in forking all compiz packages and renaming every single file just for Debian. heh
I hope you all understand the *practicality* in this.
Best,
Jasmine

Raphaël is right:
- you should try to collaborate with other distributions on a
*single* fork.
- your fork should not be called "compiz", please pick a unique
name, such as compiz-mate or matepiz or whatever
There are no distributions. Only a fork in fedora, and at least one patch (no-more-mate-wm-settings.patch) collides with another I synced/migrated from ubuntu's compiz 0.8.6 series (562027-fix-mateconf-ftbfs.patch).
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=851800But I'll try, of course.
In addition, but I believe you realize that already, your fork and the
mainstream compiz packages should remain co-installable at all time:
you need to rename/move all files, programs, libraries etc.
Of course.
As for "unstable should move to 0.9.x", that's entirely up to the
compiz maintainers and the release team. Remember we are in a freeze
period, experimental has 0.9.2.1+git...
Understandable. But there's still no compiz at all in testing :P
Regards, Thibaut.
