So to see that someone has taken up the cause to do bug fixes is a
real pleasure to see.

I'm a sysadmin.  Not a developer.  I've been using Ubuntu for about 7
years now and love it because it's a binary distribution.  I don't
have to download source, do the library version chase, and basically
get it over my head when an install gets past configure, make, make
install.

I'd like to request that one of y'all developers update the
Windowmaker binaries in the Ubuntu repositories. Then I could just do
a simple in-place binary upgrade and be even more happy!

Hi Russ,

use the debian repositories. Is included in testing and unstable.

Add the line

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ testing main

To your /etc/apt/sources.list

run

apt-get udpate

then

apt-get install wmaker

and is done. You can comment the line in /etc/apt/sources.list and re-run apt-get update to forget the debian repos.

Cheers.
