https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D234276 Bug ID: 234276 Summary: x11/rxvt-unicode: enhance urxvtd and urxvtc to interoperate with service managers Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Keywords: patch Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: thierry@FreeBSD.org Reporter: J.deBoynePollard-newsgroups@NTLWorld.COM Flags: maintainer-feedback?(thierry@FreeBSD.org) Assignee: thierry@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 200370 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D200370&action= =3Dedit patch to enhance urxvtd and urxvtc This is also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D917105 . urxvtd can be run as a per-user service under the nosh toolset's service manager and under systemd. It does not have the problems that some X11 terminal emulators have with needing a DISPLAY environment variable in the d=C3=A6mon. But it is not perfect. In particular, one cannot use the serv= ice managers' abilities to pass the listening socket in as an already open file descriptor, using (in the nosh toolset case for example) a service bundle w= ith a run script along the lines of: #!/bin/nosh local-stream-socket-listen --systemd-compatibility --mode 0600 /run/user/JdeBP/urxvt/daemon urxvtd What happens in practice is that urxvtd ignores the passed-in file descript= or for a listening socket and blithely opens its own, second, listening socket file descriptor. The attached patch enhances urxvtd to interoperate with these service management subsystems, allowing it to be passed the listening socket in this way. It also updates urxvtc and the doco keeping them in step. I have already added automatically-made per-user service bundles to the nosh service management allowing users to manage the urxvt d=C3=A6mon with syste= m-control --user. I developed and tested this on FreeBSD invoking the urxvtd service from the nosh per-user service manager. Notes: * The patch adds support for the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable from = the Freedesktop Base Directory Specification, which enables using some features= in systemd units and also results in automatic cleanup of socket files (as opp= osed to their lingering in /tmp or one's home directory) as part of the normal semantics of /run. * Runtime directories are by definition private to individual users and machines, and so when a runtime directory is used the socket name is fixed = as ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/urxvt/daemon and does not vary by host name or unnecessa= rily repeat the software name. (Compare the behaviour of other softwares which = used to use compound names in /tmp, such as dbus-daemon using just ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/bus for example.) Per convention the urxvt subdirectory does not have a hidden name (in contrast to ${HOME}/.urxvt/). * The manual pages are updated to reflect the additional environment variab= les that are recognized, and to show which takes precedence. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
