Heya,

some time ago I used xdm as a login-manager. When I updated Xorg my config-files always changed back to their defaults. This made xdm listen to requests on the network and Xorg listen on a tcp-connection I believe. I changed my config-files to disallow this, but updated these changes were gone.

I don't use xdm anymore, but I want to ask to add the files in the "/etc/X11/xdm"-directory in the backup-variable in the PKGBUILD. So, this should be:

backup=('etc/X11/xdm/Giveconsole' 'etc/X11/xdm/TakeConsole' 'etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess' 'etc/X11/xdm/Xresources' 'etc/X11/xdm/Xservers' 'etc/X11/xdm/Xsession' 'etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0' 'etc/X11/xdm/Xwilling' 'etc/X11/xdm/authdir' 'etc/X11/xdm/chooser' 'etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config')

I didn't add the files in the pixmap-directory. Don't know if that is really needed.

I was wondering if it is possible to use regular expressions/wildcards in the paths?


thanks,

Michel

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  xorg makes a backup of the real configfiles for xdm now. Please backup them first for now, since pacman will overwrite it on this upgrade anyways.
