Hi,
I've recently tried to upgrade xmonad to the latest version but have been
experiencing some problems. My guess is that the version I'm getting from
cabal is conflicting with Fedora's packaged version, but I'm not sure how
to disentangle.
I've tried the following, any suggestions would be most welcome:
> cabal --version
cabal-install version 2.4.1.0
compiled using version 2.4.1.0 of the Cabal library
> cabal update
Warning: The update command is a part of the legacy v1 style of cabal usage.
Please switch to using either the new project style and the new-update
command
or the legacy v1-update alias as new-style projects will become the default
in
the next version of cabal-install. Please file a bug if you cannot
replicate a
working v1- use case with the new-style commands.

To revert to previous state run:
cabal update --index-state='2020-02-24T08:44:25Z'
> cabal install xmonad
Warning: The install command is a part of the legacy v1 style of cabal
usage.

command or the legacy v1-install alias as new-style projects will become the
default in the next version of cabal-install. Please file a bug if you

All the requested packages are already installed:
xmonad-0.15
Use --reinstall if you want to reinstall anyway.
> cabal install xmonad --reinstall

In order, the following would be installed:
xmonad-0.15 (reinstall)
cabal: The following packages are likely to be broken by the reinstalls:
xmonad-contrib-0.16
xmonad-contrib-0.15
Use --force-reinstalls if you want to install anyway.
Hi all,
The xmonad.org domain is up for renewal again. I've been managing the
domain since 2007, but I am no longer involved with the xmonad/Haskell
community. Would someone be interested in taking over the domain?
Thanks,
David
Hi,
I have a pull request in xmonad-contrib that adds two new features
to XMonad.Actions.CycleRecentWS and I'm hoping to get it reviewed.
The first feature is the ability to cycle through non-empty workspaces, or
more generally, the ability to apply a user-provided predicate to the list
of workspaces included in the cycle.
The second feature is the ability to toggle back and forth between the
current and most recent workspace. It's essentially a special case of
cycling, but with simpler keyboard behavior -- repeated key presses toggle
back and forth regardless of whether a modifier key has been released or
not.
There's not a whole lot to it, but it was fun to put together.
The PR can be found at:
https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/pull/331
Thanks!
Ivan
