Bug#709237: ITP: meta-suckless-tools -- meta-package installs simple commands for minimalistic window managers
10 packages, excluding metapackage. This work was originally done for test-packages for mentors.debian.net as an effort to update and clean up suckless-tools. But after posting packages to mentors I was requested to make ITP-bugs for it. So, I'll post ITP just for two packages and wait if maintainer or other users find it useful (if any) On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 12:02 AM, Adam D.

Bug#709238: ITP: st -- Simple terminal emulator from suckless.org
I see. Sorry, I should check latest suckless-tools package before submitting an ITP. Version 38 of suckless-tools package includes st, and there is no new version in stable, testing or unstable.

Bug#709237: ITP: meta-suckless-tools -- meta-package installs simple commands for minimalistic window managers
Maybe there should not be a separate package for each tool, but at least st and dmenu should be packaged separately. Moreover, there IS a package named stterm in unstable which ships st separately (I've found it then published ITP for my version of st). It lacks Breaks/Conflicts with suckless-tools 38, but will overwrite it files. Additionally, there was requests for packaging for xssstatus, which is (by upstream) a part of suckless-tools too, but (as for other suckless-tools) have separate tarball. For example, if xsstools will be included in main package, then «tools for minimalist window managers» will depend on xscreensaver even if they also includes dumb x locker. So, at least two or three of the tools already have reasons for making separate packages for them, that's not good — it's better then packages for one vendor organized in some common way.

Bug#709238: ITP: st -- Simple terminal emulator from suckless.org
Yes, I already know that, probably bug should be closed for now.
Also, there is my effort in splitting suckless-tool completely, it's
in wnpp bug #709237, moving CFLAGS to quilt patches and support for
dpkg-buildflags.
I have done this already and uploaded packages to mentors, so maybe
you'll find (part) of this work useful. If so, you're welcome to merge
and/or adopt any of my changes to your package(s).
