dwm-clean-patches

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.

Update all patches from the dwm-patches repository to apply cleanly against the tip of the dwm repository:

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
