> Hi,

> thanks to some bugging and help from dons and sjanssen, I finally got

> http://people.debian.org/~nomeata/xmonad/
> 
> No xmonad contrib yet, sorry, I’ll look at that next. The packages are

> 
> 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.
