[xmonad] Debian packages for 0.5 − please Test

[Joachim Breitner]

Hi,

thanks to some bugging and help from dons and sjanssen, I finally got
some 0.5 packages for debian. You can find them, together with the X11
1.4.1 dependency, here:

http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/xmonad/

No xmonad contrib yet, sorry, I’ll look at that next. The packages are
beta-quality and not tested very much, I hope that you can help me
there :-)

I decided to split the package up, here is the quote from README.Debian:

> The packages for debian are split in four:
> 
> * xmonad
>   This package contains only the xmonad binary (with it’s man page) in the
>   default configuration. You do not have to install the haskell compiler to
>   use this package, but you also cannot reconfigure it to your needs. To do
>   that, you need the libghc6-xmonad-dev package. If that is installed, xmonad
>   will detect your configuration when you start it and compile a custom 
>   executable in ~/.xmonad transparently.
> 
> * libghc6-xmonad-dev
>   This package contains the actual xmonad library, which you need to compile
>   your custom configuration.
> 
> * libghc6-xmonad-doc
>   This package contains the documentation for xmonad, including an example
>   configuration file.
> 
> * libghc6-xmonad-prof
>   Profiling information. You’ll know when you need it.

If you want to help out, I manage the xmonad package in a darcs
repository that contains the regular patches from upstream with the
addition of the debian files and my own adjustments to the xmonad
sources:
	http://darcs.nomeata.de/xmonad/
	http://darcs.nomeata.de/cgi-bin/darcsweb.cgi?r=xmonad;a=summary

Comments and patches are very appreciated.

Greetings,
Joachim
