2011-12-31: SlackE17 r66703 has been released!

2011-12-02: EFL 1.1.0 have been released! As a bonus, you will find a snapshot of enlightenment DR17 to go along.

> What is SlackE17?

SlackE17 is a project of building and distributing the new Enlightenment DR17 (E17) window manager for the Linux Slackware distribution. E17 is under heavy development but is stable enough for everyday use even if there was no official release yet.

> Requirements

You need an official Linux Slackware 13.37 for i486 or x86_64 (for the last release). If you did install intrusive third party softwares and run into problems, do not complain. It was made for vanilla Slackware. On the other hand, you'd better to apply the security patch of the Slackware stable branch before installing SlackE17.

> Releases

SlackE17 is released after each Slackware version and is updated when possible. Last time was December, the 31st 2011. SlackE17 contains packages for Slackware, documentation and install tools.

> Installation

slacke17 is all what you need to run E17. There are .tar and Slackware .txz files. It's strongly recommended that you use the tar file: it contains documentation and tools so you can make a standard or maximum install. You'll find a tool to create the .txz if you really want it. The .txz at Sourceforge is only meaned for people that really know what will happen during installation.

To install, uncompress the tarball using tar xvf, read carefully the README, README.e17, INSTALL, UPGRADING and NOT-E17 files, choose your installation type (like 'max') then run as root ./slacke17-install.sh max. Run xwmconfig or KDM and that's all.
