Dear package maintainer, 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. On debian, this looks like this: # Compilation $(MAKE) $(MAKE) -C man # Installation $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/ install mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/usr/share/man/man1 cp man/i3.1 $(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/usr/share/man/man1 If you got any questions, ideas, hints, problems or whatever, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will help you out. Just drop me an E-Mail (find the address at http://michael.stapelberg.de/Kontakt, scroll down to bottom), contact me using the same address in jabber or ask on our IRC channel (#i3 on irc.twice-irc.de). Thanks again for your efforts, Michael
