Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am requesting someone to adopt WMakerConf and give it some TLC. I've moved to using Gnome/Metacity instead of WindowMaker on my laptop, so I no longer have much incentive or energy to maintain the package.
Please note that any adopter will also have to take over as WMakerConf upstream. The program should probably be ported to use GTK+ 2 and deal with new features of WindowMaker 0.90. I have prototype code to link against GTK+ 2 at http://www.starplot.org/wmakerconf/wmakerconf-2.10.tar.gz but there are still a number of problems with it, described at http://www.starplot.org/wmakerconf/TODO You may also want to look at the current WMakerConf project page, http://www.starplot.org/wmakerconf/index.html For anyone really interested, a good accompanying project would be to port gtk-engines-gtkstep to GTK+ 2; it's a NeXTStep-like GTK+ theme. Its upstream (same as the original author of WMakerConf) abandoned it long ago but the source is still available in woody. The wmakerconf package description is: Interactive graphical configuration utility for Window Maker. It permits configuration of Window Maker using a mouse driven point and click interface, avoiding direct manual editing of its configuration files. . There is not much point in installing this program without Window Maker on the system, but this package doesn't depend on the wmaker package so it may be used with, for example, self-compiled installations of Window Maker. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.9-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) regards, -- Kevin B.
