Update the wiki to allow patches per dwl version

[sevz17]

I think in something like this =================

Autostart

Description

Allow dwl to execute commands from autostart array in your config.h file. And when you exit dwm all processes from autostart array will be killed.

Example

static const char *const autostart[] = {
	"foot", "--server", NULL,
	"fnott", NULL,
	NULL
};

Attention

Commands from array are executed using execvp(). So if you need to execute shell command you need to prefix it with "sh", "-c" (change sh to any shell you like).

Download

git wlroots-next v0.3.1

Adding individual per-patch pages like you've templated looks fantastic!

Adding the option for patching per dwl version seems like a separate issue and not necessarily as appealing. Considering that individual patch contributors are often not developers who are carefully following the stable, AND git, AND wlroot-next, the likelihood that one patch will cleanly merge against more than one branch seems low. On the other hand, even if a patch is only intended and maintained for one branch, this method will at least make that clear.

Sidenote: @Sevz17 if you plan to maintain the autostart branch in your repo you've made to demo here, I will edit the existing wiki accordingly and happily turn over the autostart patch. It was your work to begin with.

This template looks great.

Any update on this issue ?

[sevz17]

No, I haven't had enough time to work on this, and no one seems to have started to work on this, or shared their work.

I made a somewhat ready layout for the wiki. If everyone is satisfied with it I can start moving it to the main wiki and gradually updating the patches. Here's the link. Looking forward to your feedback.

Hi @dm1tz, that looks amazing!, just a few comments

• I don't mind sharing my email, but there may be people who do (even if they use their real address in commits)
• related to the previous one, add something like this: ... then create a new page on the wiki using this example (you can add or remove sections as you like):
• please s/Sevz17/sevz/

Agree, I will remove email part.

Will do. So may I start moving this template to the main wiki? Btw, I was thinking about overhauling the README a bit, for example we can move status information section to the wiki and mention the link to that instead.

Sure

Btw, I was thinking about overhauling the README a bit, for example we can move status information section to the wiki and mention the link to that instead.

I'd like to keep that info in the README, but we can move the external bars to the wiki.

All done. Created a PR here.
