Summary: Review Request: slim - Simple Login Manager https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239428 ------- Additional Comments From pertusus@xxxxxxx 2007-06-17 05:11 EST ------- (In reply to comment #26) > In this case it was simply a matter of a missing "parent directory", in that it > only owned the themes directory and not the otherwise empry %{_datadir}/slim... I don't really understand this comment. slim rightly owns the directories... > It's clear that there are both features missing (such as PAM) and ugly hacks > used (such my own for xinitrc) in this package, but once has to start somewhere. Sure. What do you think about my proposal about using Xsession instead of xinitrc? > But maybe wait with the package until upstream has their pam support integrated My opinion is that it is right for slim to be in fedora devel (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/Rawhide), but for stable releases (Fedora 7, Fedora 6) it seems to me that we should wait for pam support. As I also said you could also go for stable release branches, but in that case a comment in README.fedora should state that after login the user won't have access to most hardware. Given what flows on the fedora-devel list it seems clear to me that many fedora contributors would find that having a display manager without pam support in fedora stable releases is bad. > ? (at the moment I haven't got a Fedora Account or the build system setup either) Do you mean that you aren't sponsored? Did you have a look at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/HowToGetSponsored > Using GDM meanwhile: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/xfce/gdmlite-fedora-login.png > If anyone else wants to take the package and fix the issues, go right ahead...
