Christopher, Let me rephrase what I said: This wishlist item properly belongs in 90x11-common_ssh-agent; it has yet to be implemented.
That GNOME discussion from six years ago is not relevant here. Fedora may be doing something like what is described in that thread, but Debian/Ubuntu are not. If Debian/Ubuntu are proposing to change the way that the agent is handled that would obviate the need for this wishlist item, then feel free to mention it. If you are a maintainer of Ubuntu's OpenSSH packages and would like to discuss the merits of this approach, then by all means do so. It is inappropriate, however, for you as a Bug Control member to change the status of a wishlist item to WONTFIX unless you are also an Ubuntu developer and you have a reason not to implement the item. (You may want to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status) Please revert the status of this bug to NEW. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1131383 Title: Wishlist: $SSH_AUTH_SOCK in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1131383/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
