Dear package maintainer, thanks for packaging i3. By doing so, you are improving your distribution and i3 in general. Please read the file DEPENDS now, so you know which libraries are necessary and where to get them from if your distribution does not already have packages for them. Please make sure the manpage for i3 will be properly created and installed in your package. Also please provide the path to a suitable terminal emulator which is installed as a dependency of your package (e.g. urxvt). On systems which have a special commend to launch the best available terminal emulator, please use this one (e.g. x-terminal-emulator on debian). On debian, this looks like this: # Compilation $(MAKE) TERM_EMU=x-terminal-emulator $(MAKE) -C man # Installation $(MAKE) DESTDIR=$(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/ install mkdir -p $(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/usr/share/man/man1 cp man/*.1 $(CURDIR)/debian/i3-wm/usr/share/man/man1 Please make sure that i3-migrate-config-to-v4 and i3-config-wizard are installed with i3. The Perl script is necessary to (automatically) convert v3 configs to v4. The wizard provides the possibility to create a keysym-based config with the user’s preferred modifier and should be started on the first start of i3 (it will automatically exit if it finds a config file). If you have any questions, ideas, hints, problems or whatever, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will help you out. Just drop me an E-Mail (find the address at http://michael.stapelberg.de/Kontakt, scroll down to bottom), contact me using the same address in jabber or ask on our IRC channel: (#i3 on irc.twice-irc.de). Thanks again for your efforts, Michael
