Re: RFS: dwm (Orphaned package)(17days old)
Hello Mentors,
I'm still looking for a sponsor. I've rebuilt the source with a patch
provided by David and also added a dpkg-buildflags patch. Source is
available at
http://silpa.org.in/~vasudev/dwm/dwm_5.9-1.dsc
I'm still not able to upload to mentors so I've kept the source in my vps.
Hope some one will review and upload this package for me
Best Regards
