Current Release Current release: 4.0.1 ctwm-4.0.1.tar.xz (641k). . . . [ https://www.ctwm.org/download.html ] . . . [ https://www.ctwm.org/dist/ctwm-4.0.1.tar.xz ]
Note: OLD HOMEPAGE="http://ctwm.free.lp.se/" is _not_ valid any more: HOMEPAGE="https://www.ctwm.org/" SRC_URI="https://www.ctwm.org/dist/${P}.tar.gz" ? Adapt to .xz ? SRC_URI="https://www.ctwm.org/dist/${P}.tar.xz"
Manfred, we do not have a maintainer for this package. Good news: At least the new URI is used in ctwm-3.8.2: /usr/portage/x11-wm/ctwm$ grep HOMEP * ctwm-3.7.ebuild:HOMEPAGE="http://ctwm.free.lp.se/" ctwm-3.8.2.ebuild:HOMEPAGE="http://ctwm.org/" ctwm-3.8.2.ebuild:SRC_URI="${HOMEPAGE}dist/${P}.tar.xz" ctwm-3.8a-r1.ebuild:HOMEPAGE="http://ctwm.free.lp.se/" Does a simple bump from ctwm-3.8.2 to ctwm-4.0.1 work?

(In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #2) > Does a simple bump from ctwm-3.8.2 to ctwm-4.0.1 work? Unfortunately not - main (first) error @ prepare phase: . . . "sed: can't read Imakefile: No such file or directory"
OK this message comes from "sed -i Imakefile -e "/^CONFDIR/s@=.*@= /etc/X11/twm@g" || die" Manfred, you are very interested in building packages, but we can not assist you in a bugtracker. Please visit the support channels [1] and we will help you as good as we can. A good start is #gentoo on IRC. I think one should * test, if the sed lines are still required * bump EAPI * write SRC_URI="${HOMEPAGE}dist/${P}.tar.xz" without variable * reduce newlines [1] https://www.gentoo.org/support/
Created attachment 475416 [details] !dirty! /usr/local/portage/local-overlay/x11-wm/ctwm/ctwm-4.0.1.ebuild Commenting src_prepare() and src_configure() specialites and doc stuff for a quick test.
Seems ctwm has moved away from old X11 Imake ... Downloading .xz + "make" succeeded. Cleaning out old specialities in prepare and configure, as well as some doc problems resulted into . . . successful emerge as well as . . . startx /usr/local/bin/ctwm starting successfully resulting into a display as expected. The ebuild needs an overhaul, for sure. (In reply to Jonas Stein from comment #5) Just my 2 cents into the 'collection box'.
@ Jeroen Roovers : Thanks a lot, that was quick ! Discovered your commit: b7ddf13cf77f36c29a7be4f2e852ca9f7701916f this morning, deleted my /usr/local/portage/local-overlay/x11-wm/ctwm and tested x11-wm/ctwm-4.0.1:0 [gentoo] via copying the system.ctwm to .ctwmrc. Single Screen only: 'startx /usr/bin/ctwm -- -layout One' worked as expected; but Four Screens: 'startx /usr/bin/ctwm -- -layout Four' started , displayed something graphical on first X11 screen for a millisecond, threw an error: "mkstemp failed in m4_defs: Das Argument ist ungültig" which would translate to "mkstemp failed in m4_defs: argument isinvalid" and broke: "xinit: connection to X server lost" without further ado or log information. Using "--keep" option ("-K .ctwm.m4file") only revealed that being identical to .ctwmrc. Thus I resorted to 'startx /usr/bin/ctwm --nom4 -- -layout One' and 'startx /usr/bin/ctwm --nom4 -- -layout Four' respectively. Confirmation : WORKSFORME without any issues.

POSTSCRIPTUM : The original 'startx /usr/bin/ctwm -- -layout One' worked without "--nom4" but 'startx /usr/bin/ctwm --nom4 -- -layout Four' did not.

@ Pacho : Status: → RESOLVED ? After updating the tree, I neither see any version upgrade (ctwm: "Current release: 4.0.1" still) nor any update in /x11-wm/ctwm, e.g. patch being integrated into ebuild and "x11-wm/ctwm/files/..." . Which update do I miss? Kind regards
PROPOSAL : Create x11-wm/ctwm-4.0.1-r1 : src_prepare() { ... + epatch "${FILESDIR}/${P}-0001-parse_m4.c.patch" + + # Allow user patches + epatch_user } and add above patch under reduced file-nam into files/
The bug was about bumping to the new version, and it's bumped herE: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=ec4f687cf8ddf09d497dbbfdd5fae1b8dcc8574f Open a new bug report for the new issues , thanks
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #18) You are right! I should have realized that after myself with my comment 8: . . . bumped . . . "Single Screen" : works . . . "Multiple Screen" : fails Thanks, Pachos! Sure, I will separate the latter.
