SUCKLESS UPGRADE WORKFLOW

-
30 NOVEMBER 2025
-
-

Workflow for managing suckless patches across upgrades:

- -

Initial setup:

-
    -
  • Clone from suckless
    • -
  • Reset to stable tag
    • -
  • Set push URL to my repo (git.asciimx.com)
    • -
  • Pull from upstream, push to mine
    • -
- -

Config changes only:

-
    -
  • Edit config.h (or let make generate it)
    • -
  • make clean install
    • -
  • Commit, push
    • -
- -

dwm/slstatus installs:

-
    -
  • Can’t replace running binaries
    • -
  • Kill dwm (Mod+Shift+q)
    • -
  • Switch to tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1 on OpenBSD)
    • -
  • make install
    • -
  • Back to X (Ctrl+Alt+F5)
    • -
- -

Upgrades:

-
    -
  • git pull –rebase
    • -
  • git rebase -i to drop commits between my patch and new stable
    • -
  • Keep only: my patches + new stable tag + old history
    • -
  • Install, commit, push
    • -
- -

Example:

- -

Before: [my patch] -> [6.5]
-After pull: [my patch] -> [random commits] -> [6.6] -> [old stuff] -> [6.5]
-After rebase: [my patch] -> [6.6] -> [old stuff] -> [6.5]

- -

Note: This keeps patch history clean while staying current.
