DESCRIPTION¶
genkdmconf is used to generate configuration files for
kdm.
If an older xdm/kdm configuration is found, its config files are
"absorbed"; if it lives in the new target directory, its scripts are
reused (and possibly modified) as well, otherwise the scripts are ignored and
default scripts are installed.
OPTIONS¶
- --in /path/to/new/kdm-config-dir
- In which directory to put the new configuration. You can
use this to support a $(DESTDIR), but not to change the final location of
the installation - the paths inside the files are not affected.
Default is /etc/kde4/kdm.
- --old-xdm /path/to/old/xdm-dir
- Where to look for the config files of an xdm / older
kdm. Default is to scan
/etc/X11/kdm, $XLIBDIR/kdm, /etc/X11/xdm, $XLIBDIR/xdm;
there in turn look for kdm-config and xdm-config.
Note that you possibly need to use --no-old-kde to make this take
effect.
- --old-kde /path/to/old/kde-config-dir
- Where to look for the kdmrc of an older kdm.
Default is to scan /etc/kde4 and {/usr,/usr/local,
{/opt,/usr/local}{kde3,kde,kde2,kde1}}/share/config.
- --no-old
- Don't look at older xdm/kdm configurations, just create
default config.
- --no-old-xdm
- Don't look at older xdm configurations.
- --no-old-kde
- Don't look at older kdm configurations.
- --old-scripts
- Directly use all scripts from the older xdm/kdm
configuration.
- --no-old-scripts
- Don't use scripts from the older xdm/kdm configuration even
if it lives in the new target directory.
- --old-confs
- Directly use all ancillary config files from the older
xdm/kdm configuration. This is usually a bad idea.
- --no-backup
- Overwrite/delete old config files instead of backing them
up.
- --no-in-notice
- Don't put the notice about --in being used into the
generated README.
