Community

Mailing lists

  • dev@suckless.org - for dwm/dmenu/st/... users, development discussion, bug reports and general discussion.
  • hackers@suckless.org - only for patches and upstream patch discussion. Commit messages and diffs from all suckless projects are posted here and can be replied to. See patch/hacking guidelines here. DO NOT POST WIKI PATCHES OR BUG REPORTS HERE. Please inline patches for easier review.
  • news@suckless.org - for release and other news. For admins: please send release news to dev@ too.
  • wiki@suckless.org - for discussion about the wiki, also automatic wiki commit messages are posted here.

Best practice

When beginning a new discussion on the mailing lists, except for the wiki@ mailing list, prepend your subject with the project name you are referring to. This makes it easier for project maintainers to answer your questions.

Here is an example:

Subject: [st] X not working

When sending patches use the following form:

Subject: [st][patch] subject here

In both cases describe the problem or the fix clearly.

  • Don't use HTML mail: use plain-text UTF8.
  • Don't top-post: bottom-post.

Mailing list commands

Send a mail from your (not yet) subscribed email address to one of the following addresses to perform the described action.

After both the subscribe and unsubscribe command, a confirmation email will be sent to you (so look into your spam bin!)

Note, replace MAILHOST with suckless.org

dev@suckless.org

  • dev+subscribe@MAILHOST - subscribe to the mailing list (read/write)
  • dev+subscribe-digest@MAILHOST - subscribe to the digest version of the mailing list (read/write)
  • dev+subscribe-nomail@MAILHOST - subscribe without receiving e-mails from the mailing list (write)
  • dev+unsubscribe@MAILHOST - unsubscribe from the mailing list
  • dev+unsubscribe-digest@MAILHOST - unsubscribe from the digest version
  • dev+unsubscribe-nomail@MAILHOST - unsubscribe from the nomail version
  • dev+get-N@MAILHOST - retrieve message number N
  • dev+help@MAILHOST - receive detailed description of the mailing list commands

hackers@suckless.org

When sending a patch use the following commands:

cd $project
git send-email --subject-prefix="${PWD##*/}][PATCH" \
	--to hackers@suckless.org -1

This will send the last commit of the repository to the mailing list adding a prefix to the subject which includes the appropriate project name. This allows easier referencing and filtering of the e-mails for the maintainers subscribed to hackers@.

Be sure to have setup your sender address in git and be subscribed to the mailing list so you can see eventual comments on your patches.
