Re: [ctwm] Putting a development diff on the website.
On Tue, Jan 03, 2012 at 11:11:53AM +0100 I heard the voice of Rhialto, and lo! it spake thus: That made me think it would be better to just have a cumulative patch for everything since ctwm-3.8a. And in turn that made me wonder if it would make sense to just put such a diff on the website, next to the release itself. Instead of a diff, why not just do a tarball instead? We could call it ctwm-3.8.1.tar.gz, see... -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fulle...@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.

For people like me, and anyone considering trying out ctwm, having to merge a diff, instead of just fetching a tarball and following instructions, could be really off-putting -- compared with the convenience of most other window-manager options nowadays. I am still undecided between ctwm and openbox. I use OB on my desktop and ctwm on my laptop. (Fedora 15). Thanks. Aaron

He also asked me if I could add his patch to the NetBSD pkgsrc entry for ctwm. That made me think it would be better to just have a cumulative patch for everything since ctwm-3.8a. And in turn that made me wonder if it would make sense to just put such a diff on the website, next to the release itself. It seems to me that ctwm has lost his developers. It whould be even better if last commiter[s] put sources to github or bitbucket. Good idea? -Olaf.
