This is a fork of i3wm, a tiling window manager for Linux.
* gaps, allowing double borders and more "air" between windows.


Relevant URLs (perhaps) for maintainers:
- https://github.com/maestrogerardo/i3-gaps-deb (which is a ready-made script for building a DEB)
- https://github.com/Airblader/i3/wiki/Compiling-&-Installing (which contains instructions regarding building the package)
- https://github.com/Airblader/i3/blob/gaps/PACKAGE-MAINTAINER (info to package maintainers)
- https://github.com/Airblader/i3/tree/gaps/debian (looks like alot of info is here, presumably by maintainer of i3-wm)
- https://i3wm.org/contact/

I hope the package doesn't deviate too far from i3-wm.

I sent the package to Debian but they didn't accept it.

The developer and package maintainer of i3 on Debian said he will merge i3
and i3-gaps in the future, so there is no need to have i3-gaps package in
Debian.

So they never accepted my package and also the merge never happened
upstream.
