It would be helpful to put this link up at

  http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Download#GIT

with the other examples.  (Especially if tuxfamily is disorganized
enough to have no direct way to tell the above link -- I tried the
obvious of replacing `http' with `git', then I tried looking for git
links at http://tuxfamily.org/sawfishpager/ then
http://tuxfamily.org/.)


In general, it might be a good idea to make it more accessible through
the wikia page too.  Here's the route that I went through:

* Google search gets me to:
  http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/Third-party_software

* That page leads me to:
  http://sawfish.wikia.com/wiki/SawfishPager

* And from there I get to:
  http://www.nanolx.org/home/item/60-sawfish-pager
  which isn't working

* So I go to the top: http://www.nanolx.org/ and look there, getting
  me a link to http://www.nanolx.org/newssawfish/sawfishpager which is
  not working too.  (Actually, looks like nothing there is working
  ATM.)

* And only then I went to the sawfish page and looked for git links.

Yes -- that looks like it's working.

Also, here's a minor patch to make RPM builds work:


diff --git a/sawfish-pager.spec.in b/sawfish-pager.spec.in
