Re: conky v1.9.0-6 vs conky v1.10+

someone running SID needs to try it.

Last time I did that, I compiled conky-1.9 from source. Then the user can place the binary where they want, create a symlink, etc ... ; apt doesn't see it that way. Use whatever version of conky still available on the project page that way.

Re: conky v1.9.0-6 vs conky v1.10+

I say we fork it.

As soon as I can figure out how to set up stretch packages in my OBS repository I will "forward-port" version 1.9 to stretch/Helium.

Hi HoaS,

by the 1.10' er Conky of @easysid and @DrakarNoir I noticed,
that the Lua-bindings have moved in again. 
It seems you can save yourself the trouble of working.

Re: conky v1.9.0-6 vs conky v1.10+

^ Thanks unklar!

If @Sector11 has the time then he should be able to confirm, until then the package is still available (for any who want to test):

Re: conky v1.9.0-6 vs conky v1.10+

@ unklar

Can you make conkys that are transparent with that version and still right click on them to get the OpenBox menu?

Does it use the v1.9 ${pre_exec ...} command?

I have one conky that uses the ${pre_exec ...} command 54 times.  Running by itseld it uses 0 CPU resources.

^ I am not currently using Openbox with the Conky-Version1.10.

I am testing with Plasma5 (KDE).
Clicks on the Conky window are not passed through to the desktop.

Does it use the v1.9 ${pre_exec ...} command?

The command

pre_exec

is still far away. It must start with

execpi 86400

be worked on.
