Bug 359843 – Please stabilize x11-wm/xmonad-0.9 and x11-wm/xmonad-contrib-0.9

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2011-03-21 21:26:52 UTC]

xmonad is a dynamically tiling X11 window manager that is written and
configured in Haskell.

I'll cite comment from bug #297347:

Ebuilds are in tree more, than a year.

We'd like to have stabilization on:
* amd64
* x86

The list of packages to stabilize:

=x11-wm/xmonad-0.9

amd64 done, thanks Agostino
I've also added the missing USE deps (mtl, x11 and xmonad need [profile?])

BTW, does anybody going to bump xmonad-0.9.2 into main tree? As I see it avaialable in the haskell overlay for a long time.

Yes, we will very soon.
It just needs some newer libraries incompartible with older versions (like x11-1.5)

Tested on x86, all good here ...
