Can you please point me to my error. I read the FAQ, and I read the copyright file, and I cannot discover any indescrepancy. > - You're #249071 has "127.0.0.1" in the comment but "localhost" in the > code. Why? The comment describes what C Xlib does (as it says, in Xtransutil.c:ConvertAddress); C Xlib, at that point, operates on network addresses, not host names. OTOH, the caller of get_auth supplies 'host' as a hostname, hence the code needs to compare with 'localhost'. See Xtransutil.c. This may not cover all possible cases, but it covers the case which #249071 is about: sshd sets DISPLAY to localhost:10, yet puts gethostname()/unix:10 into .Xauthority. IMO, this is a bug in xauth(1), which does not use the same algorithm for matching as C Xlib does. So in the long run, it might be necessary to completely rewrite the .Xauthority processing to parse the file in python-xlib directly. > - What's the current best practice of linking doc and library packages?
