I'd like to see a long term focus on removing the entanglement with other
invasive dependencies, particularly those which are likely to be folded
into systemd in the future, and on staying true to the Unix philosophy.

Hey,
Let me put my two cents in. I wouldn't be using
both gtkmm and CMake. GTK+ by itself is not
very beautiful (glib), GTK+3 just sucks, but
gtkmm implements this using C++.

Hi all,
Here you are an example about how to build a gtkmm application using cmake:
www.gnuinos.org/PrintPDF
This is the same example as:
https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/3.20/gtkmm-tutorial.html#sec-printing-example
including some changes in the code. I'll explain them later.

a new disk.

Why would you use fbpanel with dwm though,
the default bar is pretty hackable. Certainly, if
you need a window list, then why not, but since
dwm is a tiling window manager by default

What I really meant is there's a very fuzzy line. As I stated before, a
spectrum.

When you say installed debootstrap on a new disk, you mean the host OS? What
architecture is the host and the 'target' disk, are they different?
