FYI, I've installed, but not yet tested, librep, rep-gtk and sawfish from git on Ubuntu 10.10. Here are the system packages I needed to satisfy dependencies on a green field install. Maybe it streamlines someone else's build.
apt-get install automake autoconf libtool libgmp3-dev libgmp3-dev libgdbm-dev libgdbm-dev libreadline6-dev libreadline6-dev libffi-dev libffi-dev dpatch texinfo libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev quilt This was after a bit of trial and error, so hopefully I didn't miss any. BTW, 10.10 made some improvements handling keybindings for the default WM but it is still lacking compared to sawfish. Thanks for all your work keeping this great WM going! -Brett.
