Bug#907495: please ship the x11idle binary
Package: org-mode
Version: 9.1.14+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
The org-mode "timetracker" has a feature to detect idle time in X11
which relies on the `x11idle` binary:
https://orgmode.org/manual/Resolving-idle-time.html#FOOT84
That program is actually shipped with the org-mode source packaged in
Debian, in ./contrib/scripts/x11idle.c but is not shipped in the
Debian package.
I frequently have to recompile this program by hand and reinstall it
in /usr/local/bin. That's silly and whenever I cleanup that /usr/local
(which always ends up being a mess), this is one of the precious
little cluttery things I need to remember to keep.
Could we ship this with the package please? Maybe as a separate binary
package? It can be built with:
gcc -l X11 -l Xss x11idle.c -o x11idle
I'd be happy to provide a patch if you are open to this idea.
A.
