On OpenBSD the backlight percentage cannot be retrieved in a simple way.
The only two solutions we are aware of for now are:
- reading from /dev/ttyC0: which isn't possible without changing
permissions or running slstatus as root
- linking against xcb-xrandr: which is bloat and does not work in every
case appearently
This reverts commit 37724ac2c3 for now.
Adding a new keymap component that will
indicate the current keyboard layout (language)
and variant if any was set. I use the
standard X11 XKB APIs to retrieve and parse
the xkb_symbols set with setxkbmap.
Be consistent with brackets and add a comment for OpenBSD to make it
clearer what the actual intent of the uncommented line is.
In the Makefile, add a dependency of slstatus.o from config.mk.
this reverts the commits from 92ab9ef52e up to
d42870d6ca.
After heavy consideration, the component split has more disadvantages
than advantages, especially given there will be utility-functions
sharing quite a lot of code that would then need to be duplicated, as it
does not fit into the util.c due to its speciality.
One big advantage of the component-wise build is readability, and
without doubt, this was achieved here. This point will be addressed
with a different approach that will be visible in the upcoming commits.
One big disadvantage of the component build is the fact that it
introduces state to the build process which is not necessary. Before its
introduction, the only influencing factors where the system-defines
__linux__ and __OpenBSD__. With the components, we are also relying on
the output of uname(1).
Additionally, if the os.mk is not present, make gives the output
$ make
Makefile:5: os.mk: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'os.mk'. Stop.
This could easily be fixed by providing some sort of meta-rule for this
file, however, it indicates the problem we have here, and this entire
statefulness will heavily complicate packaging of this tool and makes
the build process much more complex than it actually has to be.
The HDR variable is used for general purpose headers, which are not
given in this project. arg.h and config.h are only needed for
slstatus.c, not every component $(COM:=.c).
This also fixes a problem introduced in
e04a385364, where config.h is pulled into
the tarball.
