it's so exciting making something with experemets wink

How I understand you!

At least it's easier than blindly sculpting Frankenstein.

here the point, it's so exciting making something with experemets

Agree, its interesting but have no practical sense, at the begining feeling pleasure but after frustration

In fact, everything in Linux is extremely documented. Including Fvwm
https://www.fvwm.org/

And if you don’t have the desire/opportunity to learn the basics, in my opinion it’s easier to find a distribution that has the programs you’re interested in ready-made, like Sparky with NsCDE.

At least it's easier than blindly sculpting Frankenstein.
Although yes, the latter is sometimes more interesting and you can simply steal ready-made packages from another distribution and even convert them to someone else.

This is on purpose so that users of the blog don’t get bored. What else to do on long winter evenings if not sculpting Frankensteins?

Its up to him to try them one by one.

3 different versions in the repo.

So what? I don't see any problem with that.

# apt list fvwm*

fvwm-crystal/stable,stable 3.4.1+dfsg-3 all
fvwm-icons/stable,stable 20070101-7 all
fvwm1/stable 1.24r-57+b1 amd64
fvwm1/stable 1.24r-57 i386
fvwm3/stable 1.0.6a+ds-1 amd64
fvwm3/stable 1.0.6a+ds-1 i386
fvwm/stable 1:2.7.0-2 amd64
fvwm/stable 1:2.7.0-2 i386

3 different versions in the repo.

But i am talking about two packages avaible at devuan repos. Its bit werid that why i am ask.

It is not weird.

The Devuan package contains some changes from upstream in order to  ensure that fvwm3 and fvwm don't conflict.

All the helper binaries are renamed from fvwm-name to fvwm3-name.This includes fvwm3-config, fvwm3-convert-2.6, fvwm3-menu-desktop, fvwm3-menu-directory, fvwm3-menu-xlock, fvwm3-perllib, and fvwm3-root.

They are only similar, or rather identical, in their appearance. The difference lies in the configuration and source code.

I want try FVWM new version that still development, what i need to install fvwm or fvwm3?

Hello.

Just use fvwm3. FVWM2 is in maintenance mode. This means it won't be receiving any new features. Bug fixes will be to the core of FVWM2 only.
