I. OVERVIEW
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-04-07 09:39:35 -06:00
|
|
|
The xauth program is used to edit and display the authorization
|
|
|
|
|
information used in connecting to the X server.
|
2014-01-04 08:53:46 -07:00
|
|
|
The underlying "Authorization Protocol for X" is described in the
|
|
|
|
|
README file of the libXau module of X11.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
II. BUILDING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use "./autogen.sh" to configure the package and "make" to compile it.
|
|
|
|
|
A black box check for the correctness of the package can be initiated
|
|
|
|
|
by "make check" (make sure to install "cmdtest" from
|
|
|
|
|
http://liw.fi/cmdtest/). The installation is done by "make install".
|

IV. RELEASING
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section describes how to release a new version of xauth to the
|
|
|
|
|
public. A detailed description of this process can be found at
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ReleaseHOWTO with a
|
|
|
|
|
few clarification below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For releasing under Fedora make sure, that INSTALL in
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/share/util-macros/ exists. If not, then please create that
|
|
|
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To release a new version of xauth, please follow this steps:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xauth
|
|
|
|
|
* cd xauth ; ./autogen.sh ; make ; make check
|
|
|
|
|
* follow ReleaseHowto inside this directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ignore these errors shown during release.sh:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/bin/sh: ../.changelog.tmp: Permission denied
|
|
|
|
|
git directory not found: installing possibly empty changelog.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cp: cannot create regular file '../.INSTALL.tmp': Permission denied
|
|
|
|
|
util-macros "pkgdatadir" from xorg-macros.pc not found: installing possibly empty INSTALL.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
V. GARBAGE
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please ignore this paragraph. It is only used to satisfying
|
|
|
|
|
release.sh, which wants to see the version number to the last version
|
|
|
|
|
in the diff, which is 1.0.9 in our case. This paragraph can be
|
|
|
|
|
deleted on the next release of xauth.
