- This is Debian GNU/Linux's prepackaged version of the General Purpose
- Mouse Interface utility. The general purpose mouse daemon tries to be
- a useful mouse server for applications running on the Linux console.
-
- This package was put together by, James Troup <james@nocrew.org>.
-
- Now maintained as a team by:
-
- Guillem Jover <guillem@debian.org>
- Peter Samuelson <peter@p12n.org>
-
- The upstream source was downloaded from:
-
- <http://unix.schottelius.org/gpm/archives/>
-
- The initial changes while packaging were minor :-
-
- - adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding
- various debian/* files.
- - gpm.c (processConn): type of socket length changed (size_t -> socklen_t).
- - debuglog.c: #include <string.h> to quiet -Wall.
- - doc/Makefile.in (maintainer-clean): clean without interaction and
- clean all relevant files (i.e. gpm.info-{1,2}).
- - doc/Makefile.in: add support for mouse-test.1.
-
- The following changes were thought of and done mostly by François
- Gouget <fgouget@mygale.org>; though I didn't apply his patches as
- they were for various reasons:
-
- - gpn.c (cmdline): modified handling of -t command line argument, so it
- can be used by anyone regardless of whether or not a copy of gpm is
- already running.
- - gpn.c (usage): update for new -t option "types".
- - mice.c: improved descriptions of mouse types.
- - mice.c (M_listMice): function used by -t help, reworked version of
- old M_listTypes.
- - mice.c (M_listTypes): function used by -t types; lists only
- mnemonics.
