Imported, thanks.

I played with it a bit, and it's really nice. Perhaps I will switch my

hello,

The port looks fine for me at the exception of the compilation using
-g, this has to be patched.

===>  Building for mlvwm-0.9.2
making all in ./mlvwm...
cc -g -Wall -Wshadow  -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include [...]

Using your configuration generator I've been able to try it, it
worked fine so far. I am afraid it'd be really hard to configure
for people wanting to try it if they don't have the link to your
configuration.

As for the licence name, I'd prefer someone with more experience
in this. I'm not sure Freeware is ok.

oh my...an imake-based port in 2021! setting CONFIGURE_STYLE automatically

I'm glad it's working and I agree on the configuration point. I have
added a pkg-readme that directs users to the
https://github.com/morgant/mlvwmrc project, but maybe it's too
verbose?

Yes, I'm concerned about this as well and welcome all input.

Updated to new mlvwm-0.9.2 release which includes new GitHub hosting,
upstreamed patches, and minor security improvements.

I have been in contact with Takashi Hasegawa and he confirmed that
there is no restriction as long as the copyright is included, so there
are no issues with redistribution or modification. I still think
"Freeware" is the most appropriate license comment, but I could change
it to "Freeware/MIT", if preferable.

OK?

Ping, plus updated tarball with a couple minor patches to remove
compiler warnings.

Testing and/or OK appreciated.

I still haven't been able to contact the original author, but all
source license files are either under the original MIT license from
fvwm & twm or have the following clause:

  /* Copyright 1996 TakaC Hasegawa. No restrictions are placed on this code, */
  /* as long as the copyright notice is preserved */

The only exception is mlvwm/wild.c which is stated to be released in
the public domain. So, there should actually be no issue with me
starting to modify the code to bring it up-to-date.

NEW: x11/mlvwm

[Morgan Aldridge]

MLVWM is a lightweight Macintosh-[L]ike Virtual Window Manager for X11:



I have been using it on OpenBSD 6.4 thru 6.8-current and find it
stable on i386 & amd64. I'd love to have someone test on macppc (it
seems rather appropriate) and other platforms.

If you need additional configuration files for testing, please see my
mlvwmrc project: .

Despite its age, I do intend to maintain this port. I am currently
trying to reach the original author as it was released as freeware
with source included. It's okay to distribute, but I need to obtain
proper permission to do further new development beyond patches in the
port.
