Dear package maintainer,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-03-21 01:50:10 +01:00
|
|
|
|
thanks for packaging i3. By doing so, you are improving your distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
and i3 in general.

Please read the file DEPENDS now, so you know which libraries are necessary
|
|
|
|
|
|
and where to get them from if your distribution does not already have
|
|
|
|
|
|
packages for them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please make sure the manpage for i3 will be properly created and installed
|
|
|
|
|
|
in your package.

Please check the i3-sensible-{editor,pager,terminal} scripts and modify them if
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessary. The former two provide fallbacks in case $PAGER or $EDITOR is not
|
|
|
|
|
|
set (which might be more common than you think, because they have to be set in
|
|
|
|
|
|
~/.xsession, not in the shell configuration!) while the latter tries to launch
|
|
|
|
|
|
a terminal emulator. The scripts are most prominently used in i3-nagbar, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
alerts the user when the configuration is broken for some reason. Also,
|
|
|
|
|
|
i3-sensible-terminal is used in the default configuration.
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
If your distribution has a mechanism to get the preferred terminal, such as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
x-terminal-emulator symlink in Debian, please use it in i3-sensible-terminal.
|
|
|

On debian, compilation and installing the manpages looks like this:

# Compilation
|
2011-09-25 19:45:51 +02:00
|
|
|
|
$(MAKE)
|
2009-03-14 01:30:37 +01:00
|
|
|
|
$(MAKE) -C man
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Installation
|
|
|
|
|
|
$(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/ install
|
|
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/usr/share/man/man1
|
2011-07-10 14:36:53 +02:00
|
|
|
|
cp man/*.1 $(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/usr/share/man/man1

|
|
|
|
Please make sure that i3-migrate-config-to-v4 and i3-config-wizard are
|
2011-07-24 00:08:34 +02:00
|
|
|
|
installed with i3. The Perl script is necessary to (automatically) convert v3
|
|
|
|
|
|
configs to v4. The wizard provides the possibility to create a keysym-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
config with the user’s preferred modifier and should be started on the first
|
|
|
|
|
|
start of i3 (it will automatically exit if it finds a config file).
