# This is the Conservatory archive of the wmctrl, a Unix command-line #
# tool to interact with an EWMH/NetWM-compatible X Window Manager. #
# wmctrl is free software (open source software), a Unix command-line #
# tool for interacting with an EWMH/NetWM-compatible X Window Manager. #
# #
# wmctrl is free software (open source software), written by Tomas Styblo #
# with contributions from others. http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/ is #
# its home page. #
# wmctrl was originally written by Tomas Styblo with contributions from #
# from others. Its home page is http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/. #
# #
# Because wmctrl does not appear to have any publicly accessible version #
# control repository, we've created this Conservatory Git repository. #
# We're not sure if Tomas Styblo or any of the other contributors are #
# are currently accepting bug reports, but if you run into a bug you #
# could try reporting it upstream and see what happens. (As of this #
# writing on 2018-09-08, the latest wmctrl release was in January 2005.) #
# The version here contains various enhancements that people around the #
# Net had added in their own divergent versions. The two main sources #
# of these enhancements were https://github.com/dancor/wmctrl and #
# https://github.com/geekless/wmctrl. The additions include these #
# new command-line options/actions: #
# #
# About the Conservatory and its copy of wmctrl: #
# ---------------------------------------------- #
# -Y: iconify (Vadim Ushakov) #
# -S: sort window list in stacking order (Vadim Ushakov) #
# -j: list current desktop (Kevin Der) #
# -r -y: like -e but reactivate after the move (Chris Piro ) #
# -E: get-title (Dan Corson) #
# -z: lower window (Dan Corson) #
# #
# The Conservatory (https://conservatory.github.io/) is a place where #
# free software that has no other public version-controlled home on the #
# Internet is made available in a git repository. For wmctrl, we started #
# from http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/dist/wmctrl-1.07.tar.gz and #
# then deduced the names of the previous releases. We have committed #
# each upstream release as one git revision, starting from 1.00, using #
# https://github.com/Conservatory/conservatory.github.io/blob/master/\ #
# conservatory-import and the upstream ChangeLog to automate the process. #
# Other improvements are a typo fix for the --help output, and some #
# fixes for build-time compiler warnings. #
# #
# There are other version-controlled copies of wmctrl on the Internet. #
# We found at least these two, and there may be others: #
# This repository also contains the full release history of wmctrl (one #
# commit per release), because it is based on the Conservatory archive #
# at https://github.com/Conservatory/wmctrl. #
# #
# * https://github.com/geekless/wmctrl #
# I don't know if Tomas Styblo still accepts bug reports for wmctrl, as #
# the last version he released was 1.07 in January 2005. Please feel to #
# file bug reports and enhancements here. Although I don't consider this #
# copy to be "official", and can't commit to putting in much effort as #
# a maintainer, I'll try to review and merge easy fixes and enhancements. #
# #
# Adds -Y (iconify) and -S (sort in stacking order) options. #
# Also backports some 64-bit-data fixes from a Debian patch. #
# #
# * https://github.com/dancor/wmctrl #
# #
# Adds -j (list current desktop), -z (lower window), #
# and some other interesting new options. #
# #
# Those two started from a top-skim of wmctrl 1.07, though, so they don't #
# preserve the full upstream release history. It'd be nice if someone #
# were to clone this Conservatory copy and then re-port the enhancements #
# from those other repositories to create a canonical new wmctrl release. #
# #
# In the meantime, this README is the only file we've changed from what's #
# in upstream, and the only change we made was to add this note. Below #
# is the original content of the README file. #
# Below is the original content of the upstream 1.07 README. #
