It's worth it to me to get rid of the message. I am aware that I will have to touch the source and re-compile annually. I have wasted entirely too much time reading this page and the Debian bug report page. It's also important to fix the bug, which triggers off the source code modification date, so I touched one source code file before starting my debian build command. That's why it's important to build a patched debian package:ĭebuild -b -uc -us (in place of configure and make)

configure command above isn't found)Īnd of course, if you don't patch it you end up down-grading the security. The above comment omitted a couple important steps: Of course, my license allows you to ignore me and do whatever the fuck you want, but as the author, I hope you will have the common courtesy of complying with my request. Check out gnome-screensaver instead, I understand it's really nice. I ask that if you're planning on disabling this obsolescence warning, that you instead just remove xscreensaver from your distro entirely. It wastes an enormous amount of my time, and kind of makes me regret ever having released this software in the first place.

Then I say, 'your distro sucks', and they say 'but I don't know how to compile from source, herp derp I eat paste', and everybody goes away unhappy. When they even bother to tell me what version they're running, I say, 'That version is three years old!', and they say 'But this is the latest version my distro ships'. To most people, 'running the latest release' is synonymous with 'running the latest release that my distro packages for me.' Yes, it would be great if we lived in the ideal world where people checked that they were running the latest release before they report a bug, but we don't. I am constantly getting email from users reporting bugs that have been fixed for literally years who have no idea that the software they are running is years out of date.

I would seriously prefer that you not distribute my software at all than that you distribute one version and then never update it for years. Reference only: Right now there is only the Live CD items which is currently somethingīeing pushed forward and almost ready to be deployed.1: leave this code intact and this warning in place, -OR-Ģ: Remove xscreensaver from your distribution. There is a ToDo list in the openSUSE Xfce Wiki but it's mostly for If you struggle with it just find me online and I can help you with it :-) OpenSUSE Xfce bugs are tracked in bugzilla like any other openSUSE bug. Without 'real' dev skills? I still struggle to get into work at openSUSE. Is there some ToDo list or open bugs for oS:Xfce?

That being said, xscreensaver looks kinda dated and 'ugly' but it's fast Released now, it might be premature to add it. I wish xfce4-screensaver could be in Leap 15.1 but even if

There have been many commits recently so I think a stable release willĬome soon. Let's hope Sean will fix them soon and we can get rid of xscreensaver Replaced by xfce4-screensaver when it's ready. Currently xscreensaver is a better option but it will be Xfce4-screensaver is still and it's unsuitable for production due to März 2019, 00:06:03 CET schrieb Maurizio Galli: On 3/12/19 9:17 PM, Vinzenz Vietzke wrote:Īm Dienstag, 12.
