This moves the apidoc uploading to build-utils/travis-apidoc.sh, which makes it more pleasant to maintain/read. Additional enhancements: - handle all branches and PRs, and provide compare view links as a comment for the latter, via awesome-robot. This gets skipped for PRs for forks, because then the Github secret is not available for security reasons. - use a merge commit to keep relevant changes and boilerplate together. - simplified/shorter AWESOME_VERSION override. - add last commit message of the repo to the apidoc's commit message. Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/358. |

Readme
About awesome
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.
Building and installation
After extracting the dist tarball, run:
make
This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.
After building is finished, you can install:
make install # you might need root permissions
Running awesome
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession
to start awesome using your display manager:
exec awesome
In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY
environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome
(This will start awesome on display :1
of the host foo.bar.)
Configuration
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua
file, typically ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua
.
An example configuration named awesomerc.lua.in
is provided in the source.
Troubleshooting
On most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
is written to ~/.xsession-errors
.
If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
