Re: [xmonad] New release

For the XMonad.Prompt.Pass, this article could help getting started http://babushk.in/posts/combining-xmonad-and-pass.html. This is the article that motivated me to create the patch. Cheers, tony / @ardumont On Tue, May 5, 2015 at 1:16 PM, Carsten Mattner wrote:

Note that these changes have already been applied in the most recent darcs version.

What's the release holdup?

I'm not good at writing blog post but like I suggested before the release announcement could be enhanced by including at least examples for replacing dmenu with XMonad.Prompt.Shell and maybe the password manager prompt. It's been in contrib a long time but seems largely unknown. Someone with nice writing skills could write a short blurb.

The fix turned easy. I am attaching a tarball created with `cabal sdist`

The process: I couldn't find any darcs tags greater than 0.11 in the repository, so I downloaded the xmonad-contrib-0.11.4 tarball from

haddock

...

and changed it until compiled. Here is the darcs-whatsnew

hunk ./XMonad/Hooks/DebugEvents.hs 34 +import Control.Applicative hunk ./XMonad/Util/Invisible.hs 25 +import Control.Applicative hunk ./xmonad-contrib.cabal 37 -tested-with: GHC == 7.8.2, GHC==7.6.2, GHC==7.4.1, GHC==7.2.1, GHC==7.0.4 +tested-with: GHC == 7.8.2, GHC==7.6.3, GHC==7.4.1, GHC==7.2.1, GHC==7.0.4

I didn't bump to 0.11.5, because I think we want to repair this report: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.11.4/reports/1. -- Cheers

Fwiw, xmonad-contrib 0.11.4 (hackage version) doesnt compile with ghc 7.6.3 (ubuntu version). I would like to work on a patch for a possible 0.11.5.. is this something we'd want?

I think it should either be fixed or get a constraint on "base" so that it won't try to build on versions before 7.10.1. Preferably the former.
