 cwm, minimalistic window manager
Subject description: A home-made port from OpenBSD to GNU/Linux |
|
Here's cwm, one of the best lightweight window managers around. It's a window manager for those who like doing stuff with the keyboard - you can do anything with cwm, using just two or three keyboard strokes.
It also gives windows nothing but a 1px border, so it's ideal for small screens.
There are many old Linux packages for it, but none of them are recent, so I ported it on my own. This is the latest version, from OpenBSD's CVS.
The package was built on Puppy 5.3. Since libbsd is missing in Slackware, I also built a tiny package and attached it.
More information: here, see the screenshot 
Dependencies: libbsd, attached too.
Documentation: here and here, except one change - Shift is replaced with Super (the Windows key). The reason for this is conflicts with other key bindings.
Here's my build script:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
PKG_NAME="cwm"
PKG_VER="cvs$(date +%d%m%Y)"
PKG_REV="1"
PKG_DESC="Minimalistic window manager"
PKG_CAT="BuildingBlock"
PKG_DEPS="+libbsd"
download() {
[ -f $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VER.tar.xz ] && return 0
# download the sources
mkdir $PKG_NAME-$PKG_VER
[ $? -ne 0 ] && return 1

wget -O index.html http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/xenocara/app/cwm
[ $? -ne 0 ] && return 1

[ $? -ne 0 ] && return 1
return 0
}

[ $? -ne 0 ] && return 1

Development of cwm started from patches to evilwm - ahhh it started with greatness 
I'll have to look for an older one - i don't think it'll work with Txz-pup.
