[new x11/window manager] WindowMaker 0.92 PKGBUILD

Here is the PKGBUILD for WindowMaker 0.92:

pkgname=windowmaker
pkgver=0.92.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="An X11 window manager with a NEXTSTEP look and feel"
depends=('x-server' 'libtiff' 'libungif' 'libpng' 'libjpeg')
source=(ftp://ftp.windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/WindowMaker-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
url="http://www.windowmaker.org/"
md5sums=('aaac5421b686ed2d3e6ab65229c98097')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/WindowMaker-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc 
    --with-gnustepdir=/usr/share/WindowMaker/GNUstep 
    --enable-xinerama 
    # XKB keyboard language status support
    --enable-modelock 
    # User defined menus for applications
    --enable-usermenu
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  #cd $startdir/pkg/usr/share/WindowMaker/GNUstep/
  #mkdir WPrefs.app
  #ln -s Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs WPrefs.app/WPrefs
}

I am currently running the package generated from this PKGBUILD.  If you don't want user menu's or modelock, then comment those lines out.  I have verified that the package can be built with such lines commented out, but I have not tested the package itself.  One item of note is that the path for the Preferences application has moved.  The last three lines, which are commented out, fixes this by linking the new location to the old location.

As an aside and an observation, there doesn't seem to be a forum to post new PKGBUILDs for packages which already exist in the current, extra, or community repositories.

It always makes me smile to see a package I helped create appear on the front page.  Hopefully I'll get to see this package on the front page soon.


Sweet, now I can play with myself.

Re: [new x11/window manager] WindowMaker 0.92 PKGBUILD

er... window-maker is in current. Isn't it proper to just flag the package out of date and wait for the devs to update it? My understanding was that packages from current and extra should not go to AUR. Am I wrong?
