Bug 99980 – x11-wm/ctwm 3.7 has been released

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description J.O. Aho 2005-07-22 22:00:17 UTC]

A new version of the ctwm (window manager) has been released. The ctwm 3.7 is
now the current version.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




Maybe the theme changer would be added to the Gentoo release, to make it easier
to change themes. And a ctwm theme package.

As earlier talked, a more usefull default menu could be good too than the
default unconfigured ctwm menu. (I know, I said that I would help with this).

ctwm-3.7.ebuild

This is the ebuild I have hastly made for 3.7, didn't get the old one to work,
so had to make a few changes, looking a little bit on the ctwm.spec included.

The PPC build works, while I haven't tested the x86 binary yet.

This patch is really the same as for 3.7_alpha4.

Works for me on x86:

Tested it today (had to reboot as recompiled the kernel) and the ctwm 3.7 ebuild
seems to have built me a working x86 version too, so it works on x86 and PPC.

I hope that Mr Komachi can include the ctwm 3.7 to the portage soon.

Thanks. I've just added it to CVS.
