Bug#167605: xfs should have configurable pid file
Package: xfs
Version: 4.2.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
In current xfs package, pid file is hardcoded to /var/run/xfs.pid.
Hardcoded pid file leads to problems if more than one font server should
run (e.g. one providing unicode fonts for fast clients, and another one
not providing unicode fonts for slow clients).
The following patch adds -pid option for xfs that may be used to change
pid file.
