[xmonad] Summary of unapplied patches

[Adam Vogt]

Hello, I've looked over the patches pending for contrib, here are my
conclusions and questions:

># 20090128004726: NoWrap export patch for use with X.L.MessageControl by quentin.moser at unifr.ch
># 20090128013917: new XMonad.Layout.MessageControl module by quentin.moser at unifr.ch
These apply cleanly, and seem useful enough.

># 20090209192718: add a regular expression matching manageHook by Justin Bogner <mail at justinbogner.com>
Conflicts, and was rejected:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/7071

># 20090227065315: added colour themes by perlkat at katspace.org
Applies cleanly, dons liked it, but it got missed somehow

># 20090303065449: Add replaceBorings to L.BoringWindows by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
># 20090303065701: Add Apply message to L.WindowNavigation by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
Still needed for SubLayouts, these are backwards compatible.

># 20090303065941: Rearrange a possibly overlapped pattern in L.Decoration by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
Obsolete (it doesn't make a difference)
># 20090303070251: Add the whole TabbedModifier patch by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
Obsolete (Replaced by SubLayouts)
># 20090303072624: Abuse L.Decoration by updating all decorations on an ExposeEvent by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
Obsolete (Not needed with SubLayouts)

># 20090315001809: X.H.ManageDocks: Added manageDocksConfig by Braden Shepherdson <Braden.Shepherdson at gmail.com>
There was no discussion, while there was supposed to be some.

Conf.{Gnome,Kde,Xfce,Desktop}Config that are already in contrib, so I don't
think that this one is controversial, only redundant imho.

# 20090322215553: Remove excess whitespace in A.UpdatePointer by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
# 20090322215811: Add TowardsCentre option to UpdatePointer by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
# 20090322221456: Add promoteWarp event to L.MagicFocus by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
Pending review and discussion.

# 20090325040528: More configurability for Layout.NoBorders (typeclass method) by Adam Vogt <vogt.adam at gmail.com>
Is applied, I've told darcswatch to forget this one, but it still shows up...
____________________________________________________________________

Missing From Darcswatch:

OneBig layout
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-February/007438.html
applies cleanly, but it should probably be changed to use Rationals instead of
Floats for ideological reasons

Fix issue 205
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007686.html
Applies cleanly

Placement of floating windows:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007729.html
Still in progress, not quite ready due to issues when interacting with other
manageHooks.

Prompt responds with Keypad Enter
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007738.html
applies cleanly

* X.H.DynamicLog: provides trim, inverse of pad
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007739.html
applies cleanly

Gridselect enhancements:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007743.html
applies cleanly

Consolidate ThreeColumnsMiddle with Threecolumns
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007751.html
makes sense, I've made some suggestions/updates to this that should retain
backwards compatibility

ComboP
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007689.html
Roman had some suggestions for this one

additional comments, refering to the last review here:

> # 20080710220410: xmonad.actions.dynamickeys: utilities to update key bindings at runtime  by marco tãºlio gontijo e silva <marcot at riseup.net>
this applies cleanly, but it depends on this small addition to the core (that
also applies cleanly):
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/attachments/20080715/10686e7d/attachment.bin
There was no discussion of this. Does it offer anything over using
XMonad.Util.Paste or submaps that call themselves??

Wirt has fixed these
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/xmonad/2009-April/007753.html

Still the same?
_____________________________________________________________________

perhaps it would be more convenient to
darcs pull http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~aavogt/xmonad/XMonadContrib

The clean patches described here should be in that repo, plus a couple others
(ie. SubLayouts, which quite ready)

There are quite a few pending patches for the core of xmonad too...

Thanks for your contributions everybody,
Adam
