Greetings. I recently discovered Joe's WM, and I have it running on FreeBSD 15, but there is some configuring to be done. The I stumbled across JWMKit. Is there any documentation to be able to install and configure JWMKit on FreeBSD? The August 25, 2024 announcement here says it works with it. Has anyone set up JWMKit on FreeBSD, and what steps were taken?

You'll be glad to know I have finally released a FreeBSD pkg. https://sourceforge.net/projects/jwmkit/files/Packages/FreeBSD/ Sorry it took so long to create the package. I just couldn't find the time to learn FreeBSD's packaging system and to create the package. Enjoy!
