[dev] psgck - read only pwck/grpck that doesn't suck as much

2016-08-02 Thread Lars Lindqvist
I've just replaced the shadow package on my slackware systems with the su, passwd etc programs from ubase, but was missing pwck and grpck. So I threw something together, maybe not particularly suckless (wc -l *.c gives 548..), but if somebody might find it useful, here [0] it is. cheers Lars [0]

JWM is hosted on github already and that is definitely where it belongs. From there: To build JWM you will need a C compiler (gcc works), X11, and the "development headers" for X11 and Xlib. If available and not disabled at compile time, JWM will also use the following libraries: cairo and librsv

Good evening, I think that JWM could be made visible on the website of www.suckless.org. Please check the code of jwm... JWM is relatively light, and people like it very much jwm as much as dwm. For jwm, only libx11-dev is necessary. JWM is fluid, it looks nice. With xbindkeys it is a nice alter
