Something I do with my patches to make them easier manually edit the resulting diffs to reduce lines of context for certain chunks. As a result, rebasing some of changes on newer versions of dwm becomes a little less painful. I will also sometimes write code in a less efficient manner if it means I can produce a patch that won't conflict with any of my other patches while still applying cleanly to dwm. Up until about a month ago, I kept a copy of the dwm repo that I periodically merged with the suckless master tree, but I now keep a repository of patches alone that get applied to dwm using a Makefile (https://github.com/ericpruitt/mydwm). More recently, I decided to combine all of my suckless configurations and GUI-related programs into a single repo that is yet unpublished but works similarly to the aforementioned link. Here's what the Makefile for that currently looks like: https://gist.github.com/ericpruitt/32f3f8b6c3df903d03f5e95ed8ba3428 I'm using GNU make and taking advantage of the numerous features it provides. I know that monstrosity is far from suckless, but it works well, and I've learned a lot about GNU make. Eric
