1) Slackware still ships the old 0.8.8 release of compiz that was
released back in 2011. The project has recently been picked up
and is being actively maintained by the compiz-reloaded team.
You can still use the 0.8.8 version of the compiz that ships
with Slackware with the companion packages since there has not been
any ABI changes to the code. But there is a good chance you will run
into stabilty issues if you do, so it is HIGHLY recommended you use
the version of compiz that matches the companion packages. Because
you will be replacing a stock Slackware package the SlackBuild is
not hosted at www.slackbuilds.org. You can download the SlackBuild
from the link below.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85079539/compiz-0.8.12.3-SlackBuild.tar.gz
This SlackBuild is based off the 14.2 stock Slackware SlackBuild so you
shouldn't run into any problems. If you do use this version of compiz you
will need to blacklist compiz in your /etc/slackpkg/blacklist file to keep
slackpkg from reverting the package back to 0.8.8
2) Compiz now has basic support for the MATE desktop. You will have to install
MATE before you install compiz for support. The MATE slackware project
website is located here https://mateslackbuilds.github.io/
3) The compizconfig-backend-kconfig4 package has been removed from the
project so if you are upgrading from a previous version you will want
to remove this package. Also compiz-plugins-unsupported has now been
renamed to compiz-plugins-experimental so you will need to remove
compiz-plugins-unsupported before you upgrade to the newest packages.
4) The install order has compiz listed twice. libcompizconfig depends
on compiz, but compiz has some extra window decorator related features
that depend on libcompizconfig. So if you want these extra features you
will have to recompile compiz again AFTER you build and install
libcompizconfig. This is not required it is just an option if you want
to do it.
5) After you install compiz and the companion packages you will need to
launch CCSM and enable "Move", "Resize Window", and "Window Decorations"
before you start compiz. This way you can manage your windows. After
you enable those three options you can start compiz and customize to
your liking.
