all love and our convo ended up being about what Debian offers in
regards to the DEs on installation and that we would all like to see a Openbox edition.
I used Openbox (and Crunchbang) and really liked it, but that was
like... 10 years ago?
As far as I know, Openbox has been abandoned for a long time now, as you
can see:
- official news page:
http://openbox.org/wiki/Openbox:News
- original repo:
https://github.com/danakj/openbox (last commit 9 years ago)
- what Debian packages:
https://github.com/Mikachu/openbox (last commit
6 years ago)
I don't think anyone would work on a Debian edition based on a dead
project. However, I see that someone still maintains the package in
Debian, I added them in CC in case they want to comment.
Best,
Arnaud
