******************************************************************************
NOTE TO ALL CFG-UPDATE USERS:
After 5 years I'm finally looking for someone capable of fully adopting cfg-update as I do not have the time to properly support it anymore. I will fix all remaining bugs in week 31 and write some documentation to enable someone else to continue developing it further...
By the way, all those years I have wondered how many people are actually using cfg-update. I still have no clue!
I would really, really, really appreciate it if all you guys out there would just send a shout to xentric@zeelandnet.nl with your name or nickname and your location, just for the fun of it and to get an idea what the minimal size of the userbase is.
Drop me an e-mail on the same address if you're interested in adopting cfg-update.
Regards,
Stephan van Boven

Hi guys!
Found a bug.
When I log into my non-X system (with ssh+Xforwarding), cfg-update won't start the GUI diffs although I'm locally running an X server.
I looked into the script and it uses "xhost" to check if an X server is running but of course this file doesn't even exist on the server, so it never tries to start e.g. xxdiff.
regards

Hi Matthias,
Thanks for reporting this bug.
I'll probably put in an extra commandline switch to override the xhosts check, unless you can provide me with a better solution.
I still have to release the new version so I'll try to fix this issue before releasing it.
But releasing could take a while as I do not have a lot of free time to tinker with the script.
In the meanwhile, read /etc/cfg-update.hosts and try following the instructions to set up your non-X system as a remote host.
That method will enable you to update your non-X system(s) from your X enabled system as if you were updating locally.
Hope this helps

I just ran across this bug and came searching the forums for a solution. For me, I just emerged xhost, even on the non-X systems. It has a couple X library dependencies, but it doesn't drag in all of X.
So I'd recommend making xhost a dependency of cfg-update. |
