DescDetail: <<

The xinitrc package provides a Fink-controlled mechanism by which Fink

packages can have executables run, environment variables set, etc., at

X11 startup, by running wrapper scripts in %p/etc/xinitrc.d. On a stock X11

this can be done via scripts in /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d , but for

Fink packages this would entail installing files outside of the Fink tree,

which is normally forbidden.

In addition, 'xinitrc' provides well-defined points for system administrators

to set up the X11 environment as they require. Consult the following files

for more information:

%p/share/doc/xinitrc/numbering.txt

%p/share/doc/xinitrc/README.txt

Note: This package installs its own /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc, though it

renames the original version installed the system so that it isn't lost.

Note: This package will need to be reinstalled every time X11 is updated,

including OS updates.

DescUsage: <<

Packages that need xinitrc's functionality should install a sh script named

'%p/etc/xinitrc.d/XYfoo.sh', where XY should follow the convention in

%p/share/doc/xinitrc/numbering.txt, and 'foo' can refer to the package,

executable, or some other unique name.

The contents of the script should either terminate or run in the background so

that the X11 startup will proceed normally and e.g. run a window manager.
