Hi all, This is my first email on the mailing-list, I've just registered. I wanted to point at a recent project I've coded, which is related to dwm.
The git page is at the following URL: https://git.framasoft.org/bobo/dwm-custom For Archlinux users, I've also created an AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dwm-custom/ The core of this project is a bash script called "dwm-custom-build". It basically: – create a config directory in ~/.config/dwm-custom/<VERSION> where the sources are downloaded and the patches could be dropped as well as the config.h could be modified – compile in /tmp/dwm-custom-build directory – check for the application of patches and the compilation, display some first step help to get them work – copy the dwm binary in $HOME/bin – it informs the user, about the config customization I've also added a basic xsession infrastructure so that display manager users could also use launch it. There are dwm-custom.desktop and a dwm-custom-session examples. As bash script pointing at common tools, it could be easily adapted over a large panel of OS. It could also be used without any admin privilege, as everything happens in $HOME. Without any admin privilege remains the issue « how to get X start a session with it ? ». The xsession infrastructure may provide inspiration to find a workaround. = About the code: It seems that how the code is written matters. I'm not a professional dev and the code style hardly fits the suckless way. This is the first contribution I've published, and wanted the code to be easily readable and hackable for anybody (using only a limited amount of "bashisms"). Feel free to send some feedback, Have a good week, Germain
