Re: [Sawfish] lack of contributors

hi folks,

Debian packaging of the sawfish packages is really simple. Chris has already debianized the packages so basically all you have to do is:

download the git source
cd in the package
run 'autogen..sh' as normal user
run 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' as root (su or sudo)

I just noticed that wheezy has a new gcc (4.7) as well as a new dpkg that were upload to the repositories this last weekend. Hopefully this will solve some of my problems building debs. Good luck and have fun :)

Hello Eric!

I'm not a expert in Debian packaging but I once tried to make a package
(splashy IIRC) from the upstream source code. I may help you if you want.
