This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script. x2go pushed a commit to branch bugfix/osx in repository x2goclient. commit ca7b16661591b1b42f0ff4246d70aa558d756aaf Author: Mihai Moldovan <ionic@ionic.de> Date: Mon Mar 16 23:41:12 2015 +0100 x2goclient.cpp: clean up. We don't care if setsid() fails or succeeds and we certainly do not need to fork to force it to succeed. Whether we are a process group leader already or become one doesn't matter, if the end result is that we are process group leader. --- debian/changelog | 4 ++++ src/x2goclient.cpp | 42 ++++++++---------------------------------- 2 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 61296ee..f7e6d25 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -449,6 +449,10 @@ x2goclient (4.0.4.0-0x2go1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low - unixhelper.{cpp,h}: implement signal unblocking in unixhelper::unix_cleanup().
