Created attachment 256627 [details] [review] implement shell_global_reexec_self on OpenBSD Hi. This patch allows alt+f2 then 'r' to work on OpenBSD. I tried to keep the patch it as small as possible. Would it be alright to push? Thanks.
I'd hate to be in the business of supporting this for various platforms for a silly developer feature. I wonder if it should be in a support library like libgsystem which we can pull in, or in systemd itself.
Well it's not that a silly feature actually ;-) Sure it's not like it's a must-have or anything but I've come to use and appreciate it. Putting it in systemd will render any chance of portability moot... I do agree factorizing this into a lib would be nice actually, since I've found myself fixing this particular thing several times.
Review of attachment 256627 [details] [review]: Looks fine to me. Not really a fan of putting it in libgsystem; were other internal components like g-s-d to want reexec, libgnome-desktop maybe?
I am all confused now ;-) -- should I go ahead and push this or wait?
Ok guys I will push this within the next 24h unless there is objection. Thank you.
Oops, that was a long 24h ;-) Anyway it's in now, thanks you Colin (15ff426be8e76af7c038feb3b754fbfde4056e5d).
