idea: split XConfig definition into its own file
by Brent Yorgey 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi all, How do people feel about splitting the definition of XConfig out of Core.hsand into its own file, XConfig.hs? (It could then be re-exported from Core.hs, of course, so no changes would be required to anything else.) The point of this would be so people who are trying to write their xmonad.hs and want to see what fields are available don't have to wade through all of Core.hs to find it. Such an XConfig.hs would also be a good place to provide some nice, detailed Haddock documentation explaining what each of the different fields are, and how to use them. I'd be happy to make the changes myself, just thought I'd run it by the list first to see what people think. -Brent

help needed in the documentation effort
by Andrea Rossato 18 Nov '07

18 Nov '07

Hi, I've just pushed a patch that adds a module, called Documentation, that will allows us to use Haddock commands to produce a hyperlinked documentation of the xmonad-contrib library. Here's the documentation produced with the HEAD tree: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/ and this is the specific module I'm talking about: http://gorgias.mine.nu/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/Documentation.html As you may see it is just a draft. There's the basic structure, but you can take it as a proposal. Please send you suggestions, comments, and patches!! I'm asking for help, especially from our users who are not really familiar with Haskell, or with the XMonad code base: helping in documenting it can be a quite useful learning experience (I know it because that's my experience too!). Moreover non expert can provide hints on what must be stressed most, especially for non experienced users. In order to help you need: 1. haddock[1] and the haddock documentation[2] 2. darcs to record and send patches (I'm sure you already have darcs installed!) 3. if you want to build the core (xmonad) documentation you need to build haddock with the attached patch, since by default it doesn't handle some of the newtype deriving used in XMonad.Core That's it. I'll try to keep the above link as updated as I can. Thanks for your kind attention. And for the forthcoming help! ;) Andrea [1] http://haskell.org/haddock/ [2] http://haskell.org/haddock/haddock-html-0.8/index.html

packages, packages, packages
by Don Stewart 17 Nov '07

Here's a little graph of xmonad users on debian, since Joachim's package a couple of weeks ago: http://people.debian.org/~igloo/popcon-graphs/index.php?packages=xmonad%2C+… which just goes to show how important it is to get packages of your code into the main distros. The good news is that in the darcs branch xmonad can now be built and distributed as a binary, and uses ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs for configuration -- so the package maintainers job is a *lot* easier. So, if you're involved in packaging for your distro, have a look at the darcs branch, and start thinking how to roll a binary package for xmonad! :) -- Don
