Patch updating x11-wm/swm to 1.3.5

I was looking at the list of out-dated ports without a maintainer[1] and I found x11-wm/swm.

I managed to update it to update it to version 1.3.5. Here's the changelog:

> v1.3.5:
> * changed all swm stuff to sWM to avoid confusion with old swm...
> * added doxygen developer documentation
> * removed a bug that caused strange focus behaviour
> * exposeHandler was changed to react faster in debug mode
> * added extra handling check in keyEventHandler to improve stability & speed
> * added new "first-time" wizzard and sWM runtime configuration
> * changed Makefile based installation

I simplified the Makefile as well.

The problem is that neither the current version nor the new 1.3.5 is working on my laptop. The X session starts but there's only black screen and no errors as fair as I can tell. feh, however, successfully sets a background wallpaper.

The software is not maintained since 2004.[2] Shouldn't we remove it from the tree?

I'm attaching the patch just in case.

Well, updating the port if either version has problems does not make sense.

I've sent a mail to the mail address given at the website (support@small-window-manager.de), let's wait. If we do not hear back until June, we should deprecate that software.

(In reply to Kurt Jaeger from comment #2)
It's June now. Did you hear back from the author?
Comment 4 Kurt Jaeger freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-06-13 14:19:09 UTC 
No, I did not hear back from that address.
Comment 5 Mateusz Piotrowski freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-07-20 01:21:08 UTC 
I suggest we mark this port as broken and deprecated.
