It doesn't make any sense at all to have a system-wide preconfigured version installed. Surely the RPM should simply install the sources, along with a script that the user can run to copy the config files to the user's homedir and build dwm. The user would then have their own private copy of dwm. Andrew. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
