Just one request though: would you mind speaking to upstream about
getting their
C-string handling straight (that is, introduce some "const")? GCC
keeps warning us:
XPM/wmmixer.xpm:77:67: warning: deprecated conversion from string
constant to ‘char*’ [-Wwrite-strings]
Thanks a lot for your work,
Michael
Hi Michael,
thanks a lot!
I have a new (upstream) patch for the "const" problems. I sent it to
wmaker-dev mail list (Subject: "wmmixer patches")
http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.compw.window-managers.windowmaker.devel/day=20110810
In the same link there is a comment about the future of wmaker package.
Is only an idea, I am not sure if is possible to do that. The current
wmaker package has a lot of (old) bugs, and probably is better to "drop"
the package and create a new one. For this reason, perhaps, we can do:
1. create a new package (pe. wmaker-crm)
2. convert wmaker in a metapackage with dependency wmaker-crm
3. work normally
4. in the future, move wmaker-crm to wmaker
Is possible to do it? Any idea?
Thanks a lot for your time Michael,
Best Regards,
kix
