Does anyone here use awesomewm or is it deprecated
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:16:23
Or is there a backport for awesomewm somewhere?
missmbob 2017-03-03 16:18:03
no
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:18:21
the version taht ships with jessie was compiled in 2013... :(

I understand keeping a "stable" version in the main repos, but why not toss a build or three into jessie backports?
themill 2017-03-03 16:23:36
"why not" doesn't magically make volunteers appear
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:23:49
I volunteer
coruja 2017-03-03 16:23:51
with a bit more patience you may wait for stretch getting stable and being released soon(tm)
themill 2017-03-03 16:23:58
foul_owl: then do it!
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:24:11
How do I get perms to upload debs to jessie backports?
themill 2017-03-03 16:24:23
https://backports.debian.org/Contribute/
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:24:25
I will happily do that for dozens of buggy packages
themill 2017-03-03 16:25:02
backports is not for fixing bugs
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:26:03
Ah ok
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:26:17
Instead of uploading a newer deb to backports, should I file a bug report instead?
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:26:30
I would rather contribute a new package than add another report to the pile
themill 2017-03-03 16:26:42
helping get stretch released is probably the most productive thing to do then
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:26:52
Ah ok!
foul_owl 2017-03-03 16:27:19
What's a good way I can help with that?
Shadow_7 2017-03-03 16:27:55
if you have patches you can submit them upstream so they filter back downstream eventually
