Re: [wmii] [ANN] New wmii snap!

I acctually don't use a package manager so, no its not that easy and I

When I went the "Development tip tarball:
http://suckless.org/hgtar.rc/libixp/tip"
and got:
"Revision does not exist"

I mirrored the bz2 here: http://dyn.neg9.org/pub/tip.tar.bz2
Download away, we've got bandwidth. Thanks uriel.
