M4 treats ‘#’ as a comment delimiter, so that if there is a macro that expands
to, for example, ‘#222222’ it will ignore any macros any further along the line.
- Add xsession. Instead of requiring each of my machines to setup their own
‘.xsession’ add one that should work for all of them.
- Use M4 for the Xresources database. I didn’t want the X11 project to be aware
of all the configuration files that could be added in there and I was able to
figure out how to have it load all of the configuration files in the
‘Xresources.d’ directory. Now each configuration can inject properties into the
X resources database.
- Have ‘.xsession’ load all of the scripts in ‘.config/X11/Xsession.d’. Each
configuration can now inject some script to run when X starts.
- Have ‘.xsession’ load a machine-specific script so that each machine can
override what it does when X starts.
The comment in ‘stow-home’ claims that ‘.stowrc’ doesn’t support variable
expansion. I don’t know if I couldn’t figure it out before or if stow has been
updated since then, but it seems to work fine now.
- Load the necessary environment variables from ‘gnome-keyring-daemon’ when
loading fish.
- Don’t sync the Archive directory from ryuslash.org, it’s too big and mbsync
seems to get really confused about it.
- Disable old email accounts from syncing with mbsync.
- Fix the ‘get-mail-password’ and ‘set-mail-password’ scripts.
- Use ‘secretstorage’ instead of ‘keyring’, this appears to be newer and
easier to use.
