Difference between git version and void linux package #76

Closed tondorw closed 4 years ago

tondorw commented 5 years ago

This is a question from a rookie. Any help is appreciated. First I installed xst using xbps-install, realizing I could only recompile it with build from source. Then I "make install"-ed with git clone. The latter seems to have the delkey and some other patch. The backspace and arrow keys behave differently which was not a surprise as stated in the FAQ. I found that in the "xbps-install" the keys behave the same as in an unpatched st. yet the config.h file from github and void repo seems to be the same. What could be the reason of such difference? (I still incline to build from source but want to figure out how to remove the patch and let the keys behave as unpatched st)

Thank you.

Hey. I didn't write the package, but from what I can tell, the only difference is that it uses the last released version (0.7.1), which is outdated by 30 commits. It's pre-rename too, so it conflicts with the regular st package, which kinda sucks.

I'd suggest creating a new release, which would allow bumping the packages. After all, it's been a long time since the last release.

Oh snap. Yeah, better to release now. This will break those who upgrade, but is worth it to fix the conflicts w/ ncurses, vanilla st. Will version bump and release later today.
