Awesome + Shifty errors
I've updated awesome-git and installed shifty-git (from AUR).
And try to make shifty works. But it just "crashes":

Re: Awesome + Shifty errors
Shifty hasn't been updated by its contributors since the end of 2009, whereas awesome-git is so different from the current stable version (3.48) that most config files for 3.48 won't work in -git without a bit of modification.

Re: Awesome + Shifty errors
So it's not my fault? 
Okk. So -- thanks. I will seek for some other dynamic tagging for awesome.

Re: Awesome + Shifty errors
Have you considered using 3.48 instead of -git? Shifty should work with it; here's an example rc.lua with a stated version of 3.46, and I'm fairly certain no major changes that would break shifty happened between .46 and .48

Re: Awesome + Shifty errors
I have shifty mostly working with my config. I have a suspicion that renaming workspaces might be broken though, as this is the only thing that I can not get working.

Same problem here, trying all shifty fork versions that I could find online and no success

Re: Awesome + Shifty errors
i have the same problem and finally found a solution
first you should NOT use the git version of awesome in order to use the shifty module, and then change the source code of shifty.lua(only one line involved) , and viola, it works.
for how to change the code: check this post
and thanks kamil
