I thought about providing a patches repository for such purposes. But it's not doable, because the number of people doing patches diversifies. And I cannot grand anonymous access to such a repository. That's why I appreciate announcing those patches in the wiki, but providing the code from your own domains... > As a side efect people will find less resistance trying > feature cocktails and then reporting their feedback to the > list. Well I've no problem when people discuss their patches on this list. But I doubt it's a good idea to apply different patches to vanilla dwm - or if you do so, provide thise combination as a separate patch... Regards, -- Anselm R.
