Here we go now, the 'official' announcement of Bluetile: A modern tiling window manager with a gentle learning curve.
this might be something that should be shipped by Debian. Do you already know of some users of bluetile on Debian that would benefit from such a package?
It should be no problem to have xmonad and Bluetile installed at the same time. I made the modified versions of xmonad and xmonad-contrib that Bluetile depends on (called xmonad-bluetilebranch and xmonad-contrib-bluetilebranch) hidden, so they should not conflict with recompiling xmonad.hs for example. Still, I might have missed something. Let me know if you run into any problems.
Is there a chance to merge the -bluetilebranch’es into the mainline, so that bluetile and xmonad can use the same library? Otherwise, packaging it for Debian will be quite some hassle.
The website also contains links to the repositories. As I said before, I will try to look into merging changes back to the xmonad code base.
Ah, ok, there is the answer :-). Jan, please make sure you ping me once it’s possible to build bluetile against the released versions of xmonad and xmonad-core.
