Gentoo now emerging FVWM version 2.5.19

I have noted that as recently as last week, a Gentoo emerge of FVWM was that of 2.5.18. Now it’s been apparently upgraded to version 2.5.19. FVWM-themes are however still designating version 2.4+, but of course they seem to work OK with 2.5 versions.

Of course. What was your point?

In case anyone had previously emerged version 2.5.18 and wanted to easily move up to 2.5.19 through the emerge command and wasn’t aware of the upgrade, I thought it might be useful to post this information.

In gentoo usually people do “emerge -uD world” regularly to keep the system updated. And, anyway, 2.6.19 is still in ~arch for all architectures, including x86 which usually is the first to get marked stable. So, unless you are doing ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~yourarch" or put that package into package.keywords you will not get the upgrade.

I’m impressed at 2.6.19 – amazing what maths can do these days. :P

Hehehe, sorry, that, of course, was an slight confussion :stuck_out_tongue: For some reason my kernel version numbers - that are amazingly similar to those in the fvwm version - slipped on my mind.

Thanks for the correction :slight_smile:
