This repository contains a selection of patches for different versions of dwm. For every version of dwm there is a directory. Every directory contains with the changeset id as its name. Below this directory the patches are stored, together with a detailed README file.
The two scripts clean.mk and clean.sh are used for creating clean patches.
The tools git and quilt are required for modifying the patches.
Check out the dwm-patches repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/jceb/dwm-patches
$ cd dwm-patches
Check out the dwm-clean-patches repository:
$ git clone https://github.com/jceb/dwm-clean-patches
Create symlinks to clean.mk and clean.sh:
$ ln -s dwm-clean-patches/clean.* .
Update all patches from the dwm-patches repository to apply cleanly against the tip of the dwm repository:
$ ./clean.mk
Certainly errors will occur when running the above command. Fix the error and run:
$ export QUILT_SERIES=single_series
$ quilt refresh
Continue updating patches till all apply cleanly:
$ ./clean.mk
Specific patches can be updated by passing them as arguments:
$ ./clean.mk ARGS="PATCH1 [PATCH2]"
Finally upload the resulting directory containing only patches that apply cleanly against the tip of the dwm repository:
$ cp -r $VERSION dwm-clean-patches/
$ cd dwm-clean-patches
$ git add $VERSION
Don't forget to revert the changes you did to the patches of the dwm-patches repository:
