Description Stefan Dirsch 2020-06-24 14:13:26 UTC

I'm currently working on the config file switch /etc --> /usr/etc (find Details on https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_UsrEtc) and now I'm wondering what should be done with files in /etc/xdg/autostart.  Which component is reading this and needs to be adjusted therefore?

Comment 2 Ludwig Nussel 2020-06-24 15:21:23 UTC

according to https://specifications.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/0.5/ar01s02.html and https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html they did not anticipate that. We seem to export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg. I'd assume that similar to /usr/share/applications the OS provided autostart directory would be located there as well.

Information by Dominique:
If all consumers implement this correctly, we just need to add "/usr/etc/xdg" to  $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS. This variable is set by
/etc/profiles.d/xdg-environment.[c]sh (package aaa_base), soon to be moved to /usr/etc (aaa_base).

Comment 4 Ludwig Nussel 2020-06-26 12:16:21 UTC

omg, we should probably kill that script in favor of a file in /usr/lib/environment.d/ while we are at it

Makes sense. Should even work with consumers still using /etc/xdg, when just adding /usr/etc/xdg to the end of the list.

Not sure how to implement this.
