Awesome Window Manager - 3.2 Debs for Ubuntu

🖊️ Austin Riba ⌚ 1 Apr 2009 🔖 Technology 💬 6

Awesome window manager is great, if you haven’t tried it yet. Unfortunately, the version in the official ubuntu repos is the ancient 2.x version, even in Jaunty. You can find a deb easy enough for version 3.2, but you will run into dependency hell. So, I’ve packaged here awesome wm version 3.2, along with most other dependencies you will need to get it installed. If anything is missing, it can be found in the official ubuntu repos. Enjoy!

Where did you pull the packages from?

I actually didn't package awesome. I just collected a bunch of .debs and their dependencies so that it would be easy to install. If you want to package it, I would follow your distro's guidelines on how to do it.

Would it be possible to package them for amd64 arch.? I've never done packageing myself, but I'm so eager to try Awesome I'm willing to give it a go if you'll give some pointers.

Unfortunately I went through that hell already yesterday :) I would have highly appreciated it!
