I reorganized Welcome app code and “extracted” a new standalone CLI command eos-pacdiff from Welcome. Now Welcome is using that standalone command as well.
eos-pacdiff invokes pacdiff and uses the configured (see /etc/eos-script-lib-yad.conf) diffing program.
As eos-pacdiff knows about the running environment, and like Welcome’s version did on Wayland, eos-pacdiff will prefer diffuse on Wayland.
Note that if Wayland users would not like the hard-coded preference of diffuse, please let me know.
where the first item mentioned (meld) is the one used for pacdiff. Other interesting settings in there - depending which of the goodies you use. For instance, I use su-c_wrapper rather than sudo for things like updates, so as to force some thought for using root password instead of sudo user password on system-changing stuff…
Thanks, but that still doesn’t answer my question. The error message tells me that Vim is not found. However, meld is used. What to do?
The welcome app shows me that meld has been detected.
