Description Xose Vazquez Perez 2024-09-28 11:38:20 UTC

fvwm2 repo is frozen since 2 years ago: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm
New code and version at: https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3

Upgrading From FVWM2 to FVWM3 (and key features in FVWM3):
https://github.com/fvwmorg/fvwm3/discussions/878

Reproducible: Always

See also this COPR build: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/wfp/fvwm3/
So it seems there is no technical reason why it could not be build.

Honestly I stopped using FVWM and X11 years ago (in favor of GNOME which just works). Not sure if I could be a good maintainer for FWVM3. However if someone wants to step forward and maintain this then I'll help with packaging.

Hi Peter,
I am still using fvwm on a daily basis, both at home and at work, so I would be interested to step in for packaging fvwm3.
At the moment I am running a self compiled fvwm3 version since it is not yet packaged.
My FAS name is jdekloe.
