Since we've done so much reorganizing and such since the last release, I went ahead and cut a snapshot.
http://www.ctwm.org/tmp/ctwm-3.8.2-post.20150725.tar.xz SHA256 (ctwm-3.8.2-post.20150725.tar.xz) = 610315e0ae4d881d6078f661c3b3b7ac1bc84fde963cf277d2eb76e7bf9a8138 Why a snapshot? Well, yes, in a ways there's not that much point to it. You can just build out of the bzr tree (or from the git mirror if you're allergic to bzr, for that matter) anytime, and get the latest code. But that requires extra tools. You gotta have lex/yacc around to build the config file parser, you'll need asciidoc{,tor} to build the manual, etc. The tarballs include all those pre-built; if you have the tools, you'll still build them yourself, but if you don't, you'll just use the pregen'd ones. So the only things you need are standard basic POSIX stuff (sh, sed, mv), a working compiler, and cmake. Is it safe? I think so. I've consistently been running within a few revs of head on my system, and it hasn't blown up. But we always need more testing; hence the snapshot. So test it :) What's new? Take a look at the CHANGES.md in the dist. This is built from r415, so you can also look at it via LP online. Github will format the markdown (not precisely right, since it uses github-markdown, and the file is in multimarkdown, but close enough), so it may be easier to read on the mirror there: (https://github.com/fullermd/ctwm-mirror/blob/6b160c54ec1f46818e171c17454b05d6431f4ccc/CHANGES.md) What's it look like installed? With normal build options, I get: /usr/local/bin/ctwm /usr/local/share/examples/ctwm/system.ctwmrc /usr/local/share/doc/ctwm/README.md /usr/local/share/doc/ctwm/CHANGES.md /usr/local/share/doc/ctwm/ctwm.1.html /usr/local/share/ctwm/images/[whole lotta .xpm] /usr/local/man/man1/ctwm.1.gz % ./usr/local/bin/ctwm --version ctwm 3.8.2-post (bzr:[email protected]) Does this mean we're about to have the next release? Sadly, probably not. I'm not done gratuitously breaking backward compatibility, and I'd like to do all of that in one release step. And I only sporadically get ctwm time, so it's probably still a ways off :( -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [email protected] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
