Hi,
Does anybody know if and when the i3 window manager (package i3) is going to be part of EPEL for Centos 8?
It is in Centos 7.
I started to compile it but got stuck at one of the dependencies.
I know I could just install Centos 7 but the 8 is working with the broadcom wifi chip (and that's something I don't want to mess with any more).
Thanks,

Re: i3 window manager
No-one here knows any more about EPEL than you do 
Best place to check is on bugzilla.redhat.com in the Fedora EPEL section. If no-one has already requested it to be built for el8 then do so.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Hi TrevorH,
You're right. I went to bugzilla.redhat.com and someone has already put an issue on the subject.
So I guess it is just a matter of time.
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm new to CentOS and still in the process of knowing my way around.

Re: i3 window manager
Have you tried sway https://swaywm.org/ might need to build it yourself though https://nationpigeon.com/compiling-sway-on-fedora-29/
Must say I do like the look of it.
