The wm/fluxconf package has been dead upstream for over a decade, fails
to build with default pkgsrc settings in most environments (it has of
course continually bit-rotted), and is also actively harmful for users
in some contexts. It doesn't support the current config format that
Fluxbox 1.3 uses, so it will actually corrupt config files.
As discussed on pkgsrc-users:

Based on work by voidpin and benny in wip, with fixes.
herbstluftwm is a manual tiling window manager for X11 using Xlib and Glib.
Its main features can be described with:
- The layout is based on splitting frames into subframes which can be
split again or can be filled with windows (similar to i3 or musca)
- Tags (or workspaces, or virtual desktops) can be added/removed at
runtime. Each tag contains an own layout
- Exactly one tag is viewed on each monitor. The tags are monitor
independent (similar to xmonad)
- It is configured at runtime via IPC calls from herbstclient. So the
configuration file is just a script which is run on startup. (Similar
to wmii or musca)
swc is a small Wayland compositor implemented as a library.
It has been designed primary with tiling window managers in mind.
This is a friendly fork of swc that adds NetBSD support.
skhd is a simple hotkey daemon for macOS.
skhd is a stripped version of khd (no longer maintained) (although
rewritten from scratch), that sacrifices the more advanced features in
favour of increased responsiveness and performance. skhd is able to
hotload its config file, meaning that hotkeys can be edited and updated
live while skhd is running.
chunkwm is a tiling window manager for macOS that uses a plugin
architecture, successor to kwm. chunkwm represents windows as the
leaves of a binary tree, and supports binary space partitioned, monocle
and floating desktops.
Development is happening on macOS Mojave (10.14), but OSX El Capitan
(10.11.6) and newer should work fine. Older versions may or may not be
compatible and will not be officially supported.
chunkwm is controlled via the chunkc command-line utility, which sends
commands to chunkwm to manipulate windows.
chunkwm does not handle any keyboard input. A third party program (e.g.
skhd) is needed to map keyboard events to chunkwm actions via chunkc.
This is release 1.4.2 of the IceWM carry-on fork. The primary changes for
this release are a large number of bug fixes, memory leak fixes, code
quality improvements, various minor new features and a few portability
fixes.
Six old themes have been replaced with three new themes (CrystalBlue,
Helix, NanoBlue).
pkgsrc change: build now uses CMake.
The holder of the Ion3(tm) trademark and copyright demands that
this package must be kept up-to-date at all times. We cannot comply
with such demands, especially considering that pkgsrc has
"stable branches".
(If anyone cares about this package, I suggest we maintain it in
pkgsrc-wip instead.)
