Bug#629233: ssvnc: Depend on x-terminal-emulator
But is it necessary to create wrapper scripts on the fly (in a manner that I'm not entirely sure is secure) and execute those? I guess to remove the xterm dependency there would be a debian patch that modifies the wrapper(s) to set SSVNC_XTERM_REPLACEMENT=x-terminal-emulator if it wasn't already externally set by the user. Hmmm, without looking at the scripts I'm not sure how that would interact with a ~/.ssvncrc setting though, but that would be easy to test. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

The wrapper scripts are only run if SSVNC_XTERM_REPLACEMENT isn't set in the first place. -- Magnus Holmgrenholmg...@debian.org Debian Developer signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I use mrxvt, and have no direct need for xterm. Does ssvnc really need xterm exactly? Yes and no, I suppose. Debian policy only states three requirements for x- terminal-emulator providers: being able to emulate a VT100 terminal, supporting the -e option, and supporting the -T option. ssvnc uses additional options and X resources that other x-terminal-emulator providers don't understand, but I'm not sure how important those are. -- Magnus Holmgrenholmg...@debian.org Debian Developer signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
