foot (1.13.1-2) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Andrea Pappacoda ]
* d/control: enable grapheme clustering (Closes: #1022533)
* d/control: add systemd to the list of Build-Dependencies, as upstream's
build process only installs systemd unit files if systemd's pkg-config
file is installed on the build machine (Closes: #1022379)
* d/rules: build with PGO.
Upstream makes using profile-guided optimizations extremely easy, and
encourages packagers to do so. Building with PGO allows foot to be
able to offer slightly better latency.
* d/patches: backport patch for GCC detection in PGO script and add patch to
make PGO script more verbose
* d/control: provide x-terminal-emulator.
Foot is Wayland-only, but an "X terminal emulator" is simply a graphical
terminal emulator; the Policy refers to X specifically because it has been
_the_ synonym of graphical for decades. This is also why foot is in
Section: x11
Policy states that terminal emulator alternatives _should_ have a
priority of 20, and the main foot binary does. At the same time,
footclient is installed as an additional alternative with lower
priority, 10, allowing users running a foot server in the background to
set the lightweight client as their default terminal emulator. As the
foot client depends on a running server, and no such server runs by
default, it has a lower priority so that it won't ever be automatically
selected by the alternatives system.
