Bug#252585: xfree86-common: Xsession.options parsing fragile

[Brice Goglin]

Hi,

About 3 years ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding
fragile parsing of Xsession.options.
Did you reproduce this problem recently? If not, I will close this bug
in the next weeks.

Thanks,
Brice

Bug#252585: xfree86-common: Xsession.options parsing fragile

[Marc Haber]

Package: xfree86-common
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: minor

Hi,

I just tried to introduce a new Xsession.options option
allow-user-xsession-local. I noticed that the grep expressions
^allow-user-xsession fail if one options is a prefix of each other.

Please consider allowing whitespace before and after the option, and
to check for the line's end as well. That would mean a grep expression
like ^[[:space:]]*allow-user-xsession[[:space:]]$.

Greetings
Marc
