@eclairevoyant

That was fast! :)

I'm not sure I see the point in having env exec'ing into sh exec'ing into $XINITRC, though: We are on ArchLinux, and sh will be symlinked to /usr/bin/sh, which is also available as #!/bin/sh.

Or am I missing something?

@kseistrup Good point! Fixed.

@zielmartin

The varable expansion is not a bashism, it will also work in a POSIX compliant shell (#!/bin/sh). However, although bash does provide sh, I don't think that we have a default package that provides sh.

I think that bash should be kept as a dependency, but it would be nice if the shell script had #!/bin/sh at top so that those of us who are using another shell for sh (say dash) could have that smaller and faster shell exec'ing into the $XINITRC.

This is how you correctly install the files

package() {
        install -Dm755 xinitrcsession-helper "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/xinitrcsession-helper"
        install -Dm644 xinitrc.desktop "${pkgdir}/usr/share/xsessions/xinitrc.desktop"
}

Hi, I'm new to the AUR, so please excuse me if this isn't the place to discuss this.

Is there really a need for the bash dependency? It isn't a problem for me, but I'm just interested. Is the second line in the file xinitrcsession-helper : "${XINITRC:=$HOME/.xinitrc}" a bashism?

Thanks.

Thanks!

Absolutely, I'll get on that. Thanks for the pointer!

Hi, could you consider support $XINITRC environment variable like xinit does [1]? Here is a patched xinitrcsession-helper that uses $XINITRC if it is set or ~/.xinitrc otherwise: http://fars.ee/QGLc

@yan12125 I have addressed your licensing comment and fixed a couple of other things. Please let me know if there is anything else.

yan12125 commented on 2018-12-30 08:56 (UTC)

licence should be license, and it's better to pick a license instead of using "unknown".
