It is a known mistake in version definition in WindowMaker itself. The name of the packages is still WindowMaker-0.80.2-alt7.i586.rpm :-) -- Alexandre Prokoudine ALT Linux Documentation Team JabberID: avp@altlinux.org [-- Attachment #2: Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 481 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Wow. I see only WindowMaker-0.80.2-alt7.i586.rpm there! > After visiting the Window Maker web site, I saw that the only > version of WM avaiable for downloading was v0.80.1 Well so the site lags: ftp://ftp.windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/WindowMaker-0.80.2.tar.bz2 Regarding unstable branch (Sisyphus), our WM maintainer participates in WM development so he can judge when pulling from CVS is OK and prescripted :-) > Can anyone tell me if this version of WM is a special version > that only comes with Junior 2.2?

Yes -- at least it's quite a tasty build (with say single-click option and hotkeys which can be bound to icons, and interesting though somewhat beta virtual "background space" support -- can't describe exactly, but looks like you have static clip/dock/menus and if some windows are partially off-screen, you can "slide" over them and the whole set of windows on this exact virtual desktop will shift). > If so, I'm an exclusive Window Maker user and really appreciate > having the more advanced version on my Linux PC. So then you've got it :-) GNUstep and WM fans make a considerable amount of team members: http://www.altlinux.com/index.php?module=sisyphus&group=Graphical%20desktop%2FWindow%20Maker :-) -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin <mike@altlinux.ru> ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
