Out of interest, what makes you say that? I use sawfish on all my machines and, while it's probably fair to say it hasn't had any major updates in quite a while, I find that it doesn't really need any.

Re: Is there anything comparable out-there?

There are bug fixes in the CVS tree that are not in the last release. As I recall, there is an essential 64-bit fix that is not in the release. FreeBSD ports system builds from releases, not arbitrary source checkouts, so fixes are not available without building by hand. Fedore core/centos don't seem to have sawfish RPMs available. When I request sawfish, my admins just say, "no RPMs, it's dead, go away". I have yet to get the CVS version to build on CentOS 4.4. The appearance of being dead keeps people from trying it, leading to more disinterest and lack of availability. cheers, mark Paul LeoNerd Evans <leonerd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > On Tue, 15 May 2007 14:18:16 +0200 > Janek Kozicki <janek_listy@xxxxx> wrote: > > > I'm a long time sawfish user and it is very sad for me that this > > project is more-or-less dead. > > Out of interest, what makes you say that? > > I use sawfish on all my machines and, while it's probably fair to say it > hasn't had any major updates in quite a while, I find that it doesn't > really need any.
