Compiz Fusion - the merge of Compiz and Beryl

What is Compiz Fusion?
Compiz Fusion is an extension of the Compiz compositing window manager for the X Window System. It was created from the remerging of Beryl into Compiz. It aims to port almost all of the features of Beryl to Compiz plugins, and continue to improve Compiz's core functionality.

Installation

This package is not officially included in main repository of Fedora. It is even conflicts with the official compiz package. For Fedora users, you can install it through yum with kageshensi's repo. Instructions are in there. Ubuntu users may want to check Ubuntu Forum for more info. Click here for a start.

Its not "conflicts" .. but it "obsoletes" or "replace" ..

the compiz in fedora repos for now is 0.3.6 and in rawhide its 0.4.0 .. whereas my package is 0.5.1 .. so, logically, my package should replace all of them

My packaging have inclusion in rawhide in mind, so, I didnt make a parallel installation for them to sit together with the older compiz .. I'm working on its inclusion currently ..

oh. I see. I said "conflicts" because yum report it as "conflicts" when I tried upgrading compiz. Maybe some of the libraries conflicted with ur package.

By the way, thanks for the packages and the repo.
