treewm is a window manager that tries to implement a new concept. In
addition to the client windows the user can create desktops which can
themselves contain windows and desktops. By arranging the windows in
such a tree the user is able to manage his tasks efficiently treewm is
feature-rich, flexible and provides a powerful concept. However,
treewm's look is is rather puristic, and its feel is not always
intuitive, but with a bit of practise it should be very effective to
use.
Short feature list (some of them are quite unique among window managers):
- Allows to create desktops and to arbitrarily move windows between
desktops
- Many options (such as sticky, autoresize, always on top, or the
focus or raise policy) can be set for any desktop or window
- Can be fully customized using the configuration file
- Has a very powerful (somewhat vi-like) command mode, and can be
controlled from shell scripts via a FIFO
- Icons can be placed on desktops that can execute arbitrary commands
- Only uses very common libraries, in particular it doesn't require
GTK, Qt, or anything like that
===> The following configuration options are available for treewm-0.4.5_6:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Add USES=xorg USES=gl, ports categories x
Add USES=xorg and USES=gl to ports in categories starting with 'x'
While here, try to sprinkle other USES (mostly gnome and sdl) as needed.
New USES imake to handle the dependency on imake.
This uses accept 'env' as an argument for ports that do use their own or a
different do-configure target.
Modify xmkmf so it accept IMAKECPPFLAGS as default flags for imake and pass it
to the called imake.
Modify xorg-cf-files (the FreeBSD.cf configuration file) to allow CppCmd to be
overwritten.
Pass CppCmd CcCmd and CplusplusCmd via command line to each call of imake via
IMAKECPPFLAGS
Pass IMAKE_DEFINE with the above arguments to MAKE_ARGS so that imake spawned
from Makefile generated by a previous
imake also inherit the defined CppCmd CcCmd and CplusplusCmd.
Make imake use devel/tradcpp all the time, so that when buidling with clang we
do not depend on gcc's cpp.
Make imake respect CC and CXX
Make imake respect USE_GCC (if set imake will use gcc's cpp).
While here:
- Remove a couple of indefinite articles from comments
- Trim headers
- Fix a couple of ports to build with clang or use: USE_GCC=any
- Fix a now useless redefinition of the extraction chain
- Fix a typo in japanese/Wnn7-lib bundled imake template definitions
- Fix some XMKMF execution with no env specified
- Use options helper in x11/xautolock to simplify the port
- Fix case usage in the COMMENT line
- Drop pretty much obvious pkg-message (including 404'ed link)
- Cleanup Makefile, sort knobs, get rid of .for loops
- Improve port description while here
Standardize WWW: tags a bit more:
1. Remove white space from the beginning of lines
2. Make the canonical WWW the last line of the file
3. Remove lines to the effect of, "More information can be found at..."
that's the stated purpose of the WWW: tags in the first place.
4. Change secondary WWW: lines to use other text to avoid confusion
While I'm here, remove some more useless Author: lines, and some
prepended white space to other lines.
Mentioned (in part) by: Matthew Seaman <m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk>
Since imake is no longer necessary present at build time as consequence of
having USE_X_PREFIX defined, request its presence explicitly as makedepend
(a part of imake port) is needed to build.
