In Fedora, or FreeBSD, I am able to use either labwc (an openbox replacement) or dwl (a dwm replacement. However, neither of these seem available through epel. I’ve tried rebuilidng some Fedora rpms, but there are various dependencies beyond my limited abilities to fix. Is my best bet to do a request for enhancement with EPEL? I can give examples of the errors I’ve gotten but at this point, I think it’s going to require someone packaging it (or with dwl, making an installable version). Although for dwl, I may just start at their codeberg page and submit an issue–I have more hope for labwc, because it is in Fedora.
Thanks for any input.
Lots of acronyms, what do they mean, and what do they do?
See if someone has packaged it in copr - I use copr with Rocky to use Cinnamon Desktop. If not, yeah probably request EPEL.
@gerry666uk, my apologies, EPEL is Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux and has a lot of things that RH (RedHat) doesn’t. The dwl is just a name for a window manager. @iwalker, thanks, I don’t think there’s a package in COPR, but I’ll doublecheck, and then probably request at EPEL. Thanks
Found nothing in COPR so I filed a request. I sort of guessed at what component to use, but anyway, we’ll see what happens.

something like this?

That might also work, but at present I’m trying to stick with the one I know.
