First, thanks for all you've done over the decades. Debian is superior
in every shape and form. Now to my suggestion, I've recently talked to
some friends of mine about the tiling window manager Openbox which we
all love and our convo ended up being about what Debian offers in
regards to the DEs on installation and that we would all like to see a
Openbox edition.
I used Openbox (and Crunchbang) and really liked it, but that was
like... 10 years ago?
As far as I know, Openbox has been abandoned for a long time now, as you
can see:
- official news page: http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:News
- original repo: https://github.com/danakj/openbox (last commit 9 years
ago)
- what Debian packages: https://github.com/Mikachu/openbox (last commit
6 years ago)
I don't think anyone would work on a Debian edition based on a dead
project. However, I see that someone still maintains the package in
Debian, I added them in CC in case they want to comment.
Best,
Arnaud
I'm still an Openbox user and I like it very much. Sadly, Xorg is slowly
dying and I feel it's time to move on and start thinking of it as
deprecated software.
labwc (a wayland DE heavily inspired by Openbox) has been recently
packaged in Debian by Birger Schacht and is what I'm intending to
migrate to.
