This repository contains a selection of patches for different versions of dwm. For every version of dwm there is a directory. Every directory contains with the changeset id as its name. Below this directory the patches are stored, together with a detailed README file.

The two scripts clean.mk and clean.sh are used for creating clean patches. The tools git and quilt are required for modifying the patches.

Check out the dwm-patches repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/jceb/dwm-patches
$ cd dwm-patches

Check out the dwm-clean-patches repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/jceb/dwm-clean-patches

Create symlinks to clean.mk and clean.sh:

$ ln -s dwm-clean-patches/clean.* .

Update all patches from the dwm-patches repository to apply cleanly against the tip of the dwm repository:

$ ./clean.mk

Certainly errors will occur when running the above command. Fix the error and run:

$ export QUILT_SERIES=single_series
$ quilt refresh

Continue updating patches till all apply cleanly:

$ ./clean.mk

Specific patches can be updated by passing them as arguments:

$ ./clean.mk ARGS="PATCH1 [PATCH2]"

Finally upload the resulting directory containing only patches that apply cleanly against the tip of the dwm repository:

$ cp -r $VERSION dwm-clean-patches/
$ cd dwm-clean-patches
$ git add $VERSION

Don't forget to revert the changes you did to the patches of the dwm-patches repository:

$ git checkout -- patches/*
