I hope this is an appropriate use of these aliases. I was unable to call-in to the meeting. Actually, unwilling is a better term because it would be 4:00 am where I live. I have one additional AI for transforming the existing xdg specifications to "1.0 status". Please make sure that any specification is listed as such and not hidden in "Implementation Notes". Implementation notes are not to be programmed to or depended upon, right? The one case I know of is in the Icon Theme Specification: Implementation Notes The algorithm as described in this document works by always looking up filenames in directories (a stat in unix terminology). A good implementation is expected to read the directories once, and do all lookups in memory using that information. This caching can make it impossible for users to add icons without having to restart applications. In order to handle this, any implementation that does caching is required to look at the mtime of the toplevel icon directories when doing a cache lookup, unless it already did so less than 5 seconds ago. This means that any icon editor or theme installation program need only to change the mtime of the the toplevel directory where it changed the theme to make sure that the new icons will eventually get used. Bugs have been filed and closed based on these implementation notes. Either this is specification (and hence the bugs were properly closed) or its implementation (and hence they shouldn't have been). I tend to think in this particular case, this is specification, but I leave that up to the owners. Just please remove this and any similar ambiguities. - thanks, - Joseph Kowalski _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list Desktop_architects@lists.osdl.org https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
