- Description:
- This window manager is yet another descendant of aewm. It has title bars,
shading, a widget for resizing, automatic placement of windows (with the upper
left corner at the current position of the mouse) as they open, and a list (by
title) from which windows may be chosen for raising or un-iconizing. Some
features are implemented in applets, not all of which work in this port.
from the home page:
It is somewhat ICCCM compliant (it knows what a transient window is,
and catches client messages and knows the MIT-SHAPE). It does not try
to look like any other known OS (though, some people tell me it looks
like Mac OS, others say Amiga.) So, if you want a window manager that
is sanely usable within the smallest constraints (and without you
thinking you have an inept piece of software), then this is for you.
from the README:
As its name implies, alloywm is a quite exquisite, aesthetic little
window manager for X11. The premise of this window manager is not to
be over-bloated [...] to keep the interface out of a user's way [...]
It is not very configurable [...]
[...] you cannot click inside the window to give focus [...]

Reset maintainership to ports@ after ~4 months without any response to any
PR.
Thanks for contributing.
Since the acroread7 port is a somewhat important port for our users, I
will hand it over to emulation@ if no _active_ *committer* takes it
before the ports freeze.
While I'm here:
- fix a little nit in the csound port (I think the intention was to
create no backup file instead of creating one with a "-e" extension)
- set ARCH to i386 in the amd64 case for the acroread7 port. This
is a work-around to be able to install everything when a dependency
is not already installed (ARCH is read-only in sub-makes, so the
dependencies can't change it). This should be removed when the
dependencies are fixed or converted to use bsd.linux-rpm.mk. [1]
Not objected to by: portmgr (explicit: krion; silence: rest)
Maintainer timeout: ~4 months

The distfile was re-rolled. The author is now using different names
for himself (Kensuke Otake or Hitokiro Otake rather than Aaron
Schoenhals). Many of the command-line options were removed.
Add a do-build target in the port's skeleton, to accommodate both
old and new distfiles.
