forked from enlightenment/enlightenment
so e has had a bit of a mess of setuid root tools to do things that are essential to maintaing a functioning desktop/laptop/tablet/phone like device like shutting it down or suspending or sqizzling the cpu governor or messing with the backlight or... you get the idea. this has been spread around enlightenment_sys and other special purpose tools. this now unifies it into a single "always there" enlightenment_system backend setuid root slave process whose job it is to do all these things via a stdio protocol in an organized way. this means latency to do something is lower, but at the expense of consuming ram and a lurking process. unfortunately the lurking will be needed soon when i add ddc support to make it even vaguely efficient, so it's a cost i guess we have to pay now. we'll need this in future as well for some stats collection and more. still need to port existing code to use this instead of the existing stuff, and then remove of the old stuff. |

Enlightenment ------------- Please report bugs and submit patches at https://phab.enlightenment.org Requirements ------------ Must: * efl * libpam (On Linux) Highly suggested: * evas_generic_loaders (All loaders) * bluez5 (BT support and l2ping tool) * connman * bc (For everything calculator) * pulseaudio * acpid (Unless your system doesn't have ACPI at all) * packagekit (For packagekit module updates status) * udisks2 * gdb (If you want automatic bactraces in ~/.e-crashdump.txt) NOTE: Users of DR16 will need to rename the $prefix/bin/enlightenment file prior to installing this release or it will be overwritten. Please see the INSTALL file for now to compile and install it. NOTE: If you do not want security issues make sure sysactions.conf is in /etc/enlightenment (not PREFIX/etc/enlightenment) as this is the first place it looks at. This file is intended to be customized by packagers and system integrators to match your policies and scripts/tools. NOTE: To enable wayland support (still considered experimental and not for regular end users) use the meson -Dwl=true option. To run enlightenment in wayland mode, just log on on ant vt and run enlightenment_start. If you wish to debug and see all the output try using something like screen then attaching to the remote screen session by sshing in etc.
