xdg-desktop-portal (1.17.1-1) experimental; urgency=medium Since xdg-desktop-portal 1.17.0, portal implementation backends are selected with a new mechanism documented in portals.conf(5). Each desktop environment should provide a file at /usr/share/xdg-desktop-portal/${DESKTOP}-portals.conf listing the preferred portal implementations to be used in that desktop environment. System administrators and users can override this via files named portals.conf or ${DESKTOP}-portals.conf in /etc/xdg-desktop-portal or ~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal, and users of customized or otherwise unsupported desktop environments should also use this mechanism to set up their preferred portals. Please see portals.conf(5) for full details. ${DESKTOP} is the desktop environment's entry in $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP (also seen in DesktopNames in /usr/share/{x,wayland-}sessions/*.desktop), with ASCII upper case transformed to lower case. For example, the budgie-desktop package sets XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Budgie:GNOME, so Budgie sessions will use budgie-portals.conf if provided, or fall back to GNOME's gnome-portals.conf if not. -- Simon McVittie Mon, 28 Aug 2023 14:50:54 +0100
