i3wm 4.8 is unstable (downgrade?)

tigrezno · 2014-07-08 20:35:06

It's almost unusable for me and other, according to their bug list. How can I go back to 4.7.2?

It's incredible how can archlinux push an unstable upgrade for a window manager, when it's the most important package for many of us.

You can always use the old PKGBUILD file, modify it and build i3-wm 4.7.2 if you want.

What specific problems are you having?

You can use the A.R.M. to downgrade. Though it might be worth your while to actually explain what problems you're having, since I've had none since the update, haven't seen any others reported here, and none of the bugs reported on the tracker seem that severe.

Thank you guys.

No problems here with 4.8. Which concrete issues do you have?

Did you ask on the i3 irc channel or mailing list?

4.8 is far from unusable and unstable. And it's total nonsense to claim that by looking at the buglist.
