Package: barrier
Version: 2.1.2+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
The manpage says barriers reads it config from:
| If no configuration file pathname is provided then the first of the
| following to load successfully sets the configuration:
| $HOME/.local/share/barrier/barrier.conf /etc/barrier.conf
Apart from the fact that this probably should be ~/.config/barrier.conf,
the code does not match the documentation:
| weasel@orinoco:~$ strace -f barriers -a 127.0.0.1 2>&1 | grep -i open
[..]
| openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
| openat(AT_FDCWD, "/home/weasel/.local/share/barrier/.barrier.conf", O_RDONLY)
= -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
| openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/barrier.conf", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
So it actually seems to try $HOME/.local/share/barrier/.barrier.conf
(extra dot before barrier.conf).
Cheers,
