I suspect that there are some ports that need to get their unveils
updated if we do this.
firefox ports were updated. Not aware of anything else in ports that
unveils /dev/drm.
unveils: not afaik
others: gdm already handled it, some other ports will need patches changing:
graphics/clutter/cogl/patches/patch-cogl_winsys_cogl-winsys-egl-kms_c
graphics/waffle/patches/patch-src_waffle_gbm_wgbm_display_c
x11/compton/patches/patch-src_compton_c
x11/slim/patches/patch-slim_conf
This is a display manager like xdm/gdm. The last upstream release was
in 2013. I can patch it after the xenocara changes go in or perhaps we
remove it as landry suggested in
I am using slim on my children computers since many years now and it works
very well. This could explain why there is nothing done upstream: no bug, no
fix and features are already there.
Well it's a login manager (so a tiny bit security sensitive, no ? :),
last i looked at the code it wasnt that pretty
(https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2945,
https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-1756 ...), and
all distros shipping it heavily patch it with various features for
systemd/logind/pam/consolekit/etc... a bit of a frankeinstein i'd say.
Sure, it "works", but i wouldnt say it's the best maintained login
manager out there :) And i'd argue that if grok X properties, you can
easily achieve the same look'n' feel with xenodm.
anyway; moving to ports@.

Hi Landry,
Yep I was already thinking about looking into customizing xenodm to
avoid the need to install slim. It was a simple solution for a local
only login manager with themes easily customizable for each of my little
princesses.
That said, I will not cry if it disappears from the ports :-)
