Status for xscreensaver/6.08+dfsg1-1~bpo12+1

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
53_default_newLoginCommand.patch Change default newLoginCommand This just sets a default. The desktop environment starting
xscreensaver should also tell it which command to use, see e.g.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=778470#25
We also offer the intermediate band-aid solution of
/usr/share/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-wrapper.sh

51_generalize_external_commands.patch Generalize external commands xdg-open man: will use e.g. yelp if available.
Fall back to the standard x-terminal-emulator command,
which can be a link to any terminal emulator.
.
There is no safe "title" option for x-terminal-emulator.
.
We assume a pager such as "less" is installed, so that the
"read foo" is not needed - it would cause a lingering empty
window after "less" was quit by the user.

91_remove_version_upgrade_warnings.patch Remove unnecessary version upgrade warnings. In order to help users who are on old, buggy, and possibly insecure versions
of XScreenSaver, there is are multiple messages in XScreenSaver that warn the
user that their XScreenSaver version is very old and that they should
upgrade, building from source if necessary.
.
Debian backports bug and security fixes to older versions of software as
needed and as possible. It should not be necessary for the user to upgrade
XScreenSaver manually. Additionally, building XScreenSaver from source
could possibly break a user's system by changing system files without
benefit of the package manager.
.
This patch removes the unnecessary warning.

96_nogl-build-for-nogl-config.patch No-GL build for no-GL config file generation Temporary hack until we get rid of the non-GL configuration.

100_configure_allow_warnings.patch Allow warnings from configure Since 6.03 the original configure script returns non-zero if a
warning about configuration options versus detected capabilities
has been issued, presumably to increase awareness of the warnings.
To allow building on all architectures, while relying on the
resulting HAVE_XX flags as usual, return with success at the end
of the script.
