Today, no, but it may change.

Absolutely.

Depends on the version. Anyway, when you compile, Sawfish checks
the versions of librep and rep-gtk, and emits an error message if
they aren't new enough, so it's a good idea to try rpm first.


We know that our Wiki is poor, but sorry, even so it's after much
effort. Instead (??), don't hesitate to ask things here. But can you
make it concise, emphasizing the point? (What is 'kentucky game'? :)

Sure. I want to work in this point, but after *several* months. Now
I've got other things to do. (But Chris' last edit was quite
good. Thanks!)

You can ignore that librep misses libffi. It's better to fix it, but
you don't need it, unless you're a dedicated librep programmer.

I hope you like Sawfish again.
