Description Mikhael Goikhman 2001-10-13 17:19:05 UTC
I am speaking about the new fvwm2 rpm:
  
http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/fvwm2-2.4.2-1.i386.html

Here is a list of problems with it:

  * datadir is missing (FvwmForm-*, FvwmScript-* and more)
  * fvwm2/fvwm/ directory duplication may be avoided and there are
    2 solutions, one is not to use fvwm2 prefix dir at all and
    another is to specify --disable-package-subdirs

The biggest problem is that this rpm is not compatible with the
official fvwm-themes rpm. The solution is to package fvwm-themes
together with fvwm (or if you insist on that name, fvwm2).

Some links about the official fvwm and fvwm-themes rpms:

  http://fvwm-themes.sourceforge.net/rpm/

Mikhael.

More notes.

This rpm is built without support for libstroke so a nice feature is missing
(issue commands and start programs by drawing figures using a mouse).

  http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libstroke

On the other hand, there is a support for gnome-libs that is only used in
FvwmGtk module. FvwmGtk may be built as GTK+ application or GNOME application.
It is up to you to decide whether to require GNOME to be installed just for
one FVWM module or not.

Regards,
Mikhael.

It's fixed in 2.4.3-2. You find it in next rawhide release.
