Package: freetalk
Version: 0.5-2
Currently, freetalk loads a lot of files upon startup. One of
them is beep.scm. However, some users may prefer the client not
to beep upon each and every message. You guessed it, I am among
those.
However,.freetalk/freetalk.scm is loaded before init.scm, the
systemwide init script is evaluated. Due to this, the system
wide settings always overwrite local settings.
Interestingly, init.scm already has a hook for adding local
extensions after the login. It's just not evaluated and the
respective file is not there.
Hence, I've taken the opportunity of writing one, so that the
user can place post-login.scm in their .freetalk directory. If
it exists, the file will be evaluated, and the user is able to
overwrite system-wide defaults, just as one would expect it.
Please consider adding this to the Debian package and maybe
even forwarding it upstream. The patch for init.scm and the
post-login-extensions-here.scm file are attached.
Regards,
Joey
