Finally claimed the wmacpi name as my own . . .
Renamed wmacpi-ng and acpi-ng, renamed the header files, fixed up
the makefile.
For the Debian package, also made compilation of the command line
tool optional, defaulting to not building it. This is because
after the renaming, my acpi clashes with the acpi package that's
already in Debian. The command line functionality is now
accessible via the -w option to wmacpi.
This is wmacpi 1.99, so that I can have a release packaged and in
Debian before going to 2.0, so that any bugs that are left can be
found by all the extra users.

Fix the last of the old wmacpi code oddities (specifically, the
APMInfo struct, which was a completely inappropriate name given we
no longer deal with APM, and because of the various code
refactoring).
I think this is probably as good as I can make it without getting
more feedback and the like, so I'm going to make this version
0.99, preliminary to either wmacpi-ng 1.0 or wmacpi 2.0 (depending
which direction I go with that).

Fix a few more bugs, and include an option to allow the user to
specify how often to sample the ACPI data - some BIOSes disable
all interrupts while reading from the battery, which apparently
causes some interactivity issues. I have no idea why reading once
every three seconds (which is our default), but there've been some
complaints.

Make the time display show '--:--' instead of '00:00' when the
time remaining is 0 - I think this is reasonable, since it'll only
get into this state when the present rate value is 0. This only
happens when the battery is fully charged and neither discharging
or charging, or when the battery is completely drained. In any of
these states the time remaining is of very little interest, so we
don't lose anything. We also get to handle the (sadly, very
common) case where the ACPI subsystem doesn't report sane values
for the things we depend on.

Finally got rid of that annoying button - that space now contains
a 'B 1' or 'B 2' (only those two at present, since I'm too lazy to
fix it so that the number is generic. It should work fine for
anyone who doesn't have a freakish system with more than two
batteries . . .)
A few more code cleanups.
This script is run in the root directory of the dockapps repo to generate the
file used by the Window Maker website to store all of the information in the
dockapps section. Note that this file will then be submitted to the whome repo.
Previously, wmmixer-alsa existed as an object in the repository named
wmmixer-alsa-0.6. However, it was not a directory and contained no files.
This patch removes this object and adds the source to wmmixer-alsa. It was
obtained by extracting wmmixer-alsa-0.6.tar.gz from the source rpm found at
http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/pld/pool/w/wmmixer-alsa/.
The names for channels provided by <sys/soundcard.h> have a padding with
space when their name is shorter than 6 characters, and this cause
excluding them difficult.
The new comparison code makes sure this padding is properly handled during
the match search.
Took the opportunity to bring light changes to try to improve the
readability of the channel listing code.

Because that's the kind of option that could deserve to be saved in the
file. A device specified on the command line will take precedence; the
list of channel to exclude will be merged.

There may be some case where user would like to fall back to the original
behaviour, for example if grabbing these keys could get in conflict with
other applications.
Signed-off-by: Christophe CURIS <christophe.curis@free.fr>
If another application has already set a grab on these keys then the call
would fail (BadAccess) and wmix stop. With the X error handler, we can
display a warning to user and continue anyway.

We can handle the keys AudioRaiseVolume, AudioLowerVolume and AudioMute,
so we ask the X server to send the key press event for them to us and
update the volume appropriately.

A number of configuration options are useful only during the startup, so it
is possible to free them when ready.

It is generally not considered a good behaviour to leave user puzzled on

The original parser would not say anything if the user had misspelled
something in the file which can be annoying. Now the parser will report
warnings for everything not understood with a message trying to be more
helpful to debug and fix.

The original code did not abort when an invalid option was provided
or if there was non-options arguments on the command line.
The new code will report all problems found and stop to have the user
fix his command. It also remove some unnecessary pointer checks.

If the config file was set by user with '-f', it would be a good idea to
report him if we're not able to load it.
Took opportunity to report to user that the config file is loaded if he
asked for verbose operations, so he can see if the default file loaded
is the one he expected.

Took opportunity to re-order them alphabetically so they are easier to

Management of the configuration is split in many places, the goal is to
regroup stuff together, starting with the loading from file stuff.

The PID file was created at the early beginning, but wmix can abort later
if something is not ok. It is better to create it at the end, so it will
be created only if wmix will actually be running.
Took the opportunity to move the code to a dedicated function to keep main
simple, and added a check to fix possible crash on startup if environment
variable $HOME does not exist.

The bitmap mask associated to the Led image on the knob was not used,
probably because the visual gain is negligible compared to the added
complexity to handle it.
So, as compiler warned about it, remove the variable.

The original code merely assumed that an XOpenDisplay failure was caused
only by incapacity to connect to the X server, but if $DISPLAY was not set
then the fprintf would be given a NULL pointer which it may not appreciate
(depending on the libc in use).
Let's avoid that case and try to provide more info to help the user.

This is handy to let the user know about the possible strange behaviour he

This allows easier review/fix/patches. Furthermore, not all man tools
support compression and some distribution may use other compression
algorithm (bzip2, ...), so this should be handled at install time.

wmbutton will happily start and display what otherwise looks like a
functioning display even if none of the possible configuration files
exist. However, the application promptly exits as soon as it has to show
a tooltip. This isn't nice. It looks like a crash to an unsuspecting
user. Terminal output is shown, of course, leading to a decently quick
diagnostic, but the fail isn't early enough to be useable.
The trivial fix is to check if the local configuration file (specified
as a command line argument or defaulting to ~/.wmbutton) or the global
configuration file can be open. If neither can be open, we bail out
early.
This *still* has the problem of only really being functional in a
terminal. A graphical error box would definitely be preferable and is a
possible improvement.

- When executing a command, control flow would fall through to the
display cycle code, changing the display.
- When display cycling was prevented by the user (via -l), command
execution was also disabled.
Enough patches have been made over the years to the wmtime Debian
package that I have decided to incorporate these changes into
an official upstream release.
Some updates to the documentation have been made to reflect the
changes.
