Nothing on wmaker.git will change. I wanted to make that clear but I guess I wasn't successful :-) It's completely to the distro maintainer to decide what to do in order to make its users a bit more confortable. I just wanted to raise this question in order to make distro people think about it. Because I think we can avoid losing a few users if we start caring about them :-) > However, I'm sensitive to the argument that nowadays windowmaker is > considered a bit too bare bones, so I could theoretically add an option > to pull in another port that included some nice default apps that work > on FreeBSD. If you know a way to make the completely wmaker newbies on FreeBSD a bit more confortable upon logging into wmaker for the first time in their lives using a solution which you find convenient under FreeBSD, please go ahead. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
