However, only a few people actually maintain the patches in the long run, which is a shame. The dwm patch section just needs an overhaul analogous to the st patch section had. End of story. It's already difficult enough getting people to maintain their patches now, let alone in some git environment. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
