Hi,
I am no developer of any of the suckless projects, but I guess I can
outline how people I know, including myself, handle the configuration
issue.

Config.h is the file actually used to build the program. It is intended
to be "manually" controlled by the user/developer, meaning not managed
by git and not generated by a recipe in a makefile. It is for personal
preferences. It is a sort of substitute for a .rc file.
As far as i understand, y

git to track, but integrate my changes (without the danger

On my computer, tput comes with package "ncurses-bin". Is that an
appropriate dependency for ubase?
I've an almost complete tput (the program) to add to ubase which has a
terminfo library at is core. I'm planning to send the patch in the next

Be patient :)

No, they are not. The problem here is that a lot of ppl in suckless
think that doesn't matter to keep the com
Thank you to Dimitris and Ryan for answering my questions--very informative.

Why is watch linked with the crypt library?
cc -s -o watch watch.o libutil.a -lcrypt
