./x11/xscreensaver, Screen saver and locker for the X window system

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 6.08nb11, Package name: xscreensaver-6.08nb11, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

The xscreensaver program waits until the keyboard and mouse have been idle
for a period, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at random. It turns off
as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard activity.

The purpose of xscreensaver is to display pretty pictures on your screen
when it is not in use, in keeping with the philosophy that unattended
monitors should always be doing something interesting, just like they do
in the movies.

However, xscreensaver can also be used as a screen locker, to prevent
others from using your terminal while your are away.

Log message:
xscreensaver: fix build failures

If xdg-open isn't installed (as it wouldn't be in a sandboxed build,
since it wasn't specified as a dependency), this will fail package
checks at the end. In fact, these lines are useless anyway, as .desktop
files (per spec) treat them as comments, not as paths to an interpeter.
This seems to be a misunderstanding upstream.

Updated x11/xscreensaver to 6.08

6.08    * macOS: Worked around a macOS 14.0 bug where savers would continue
          running invisibly in the background after un-blanking.
        * macOS: Upgraded Sparkle (the "Check for Updates" library) for
          macOS 14.0 compatibility.

6.07    * New hacks, `droste', `skulloop', `papercube' and `cubocteversion'.
        * `xscreensaver-settings' was sometimes turning off the DPMS checkbox.
        * Log pid of caller of `deactivate' command, to give a hint about who
          is preventing the screen from blanking.
        * recanim uses libffmpeg.
        * Updates to `sphereeversion'.
        * Added some new map sources to `mapscroller'.
        * macOS: Worked around a macOS 13.4 bug where multi-head systems would
          fail to launch savers on some or all screens.
        * Minimum compiler target is now ISO C99 instead of ANSI C89.
          Didn't want to rush into it.
        * macOS, Android: Better looking thunbmail images.
        * Various other minor bug fixes.

6.06    * New hack, `hextrail'.
        * `marbling' works again.
        * Adjusted some of the very old hacks, which were written when pixels
          were larger, to be more visible on today's higher rez displays.
        * X11: More robust desktop image grabbing.
        * X11: Various improvements to `xscreensaver-settings'.
        * X11: Silence new new Perl warnings from `xscreensaver-getimage-file'.
        * X11: Supports "Lock" messages from systemd, e.g. when logind.conf
          has "HandleLidSwitch=lock" instead of "suspend".
