./setup.py install --user
does not install etc/xpra/xpra.conf and etc/xpra/xorg.conf properly
I attached a patch that solve the issue at less in my case, it install those files in $HOME/.local/etc/xpra
, may break other option ?
This patch would break "regular" global installation for all users.
What we need instead is a way of detecting when we're not installing globally, and use a relative path in that case (or just drop installing etc
bits altogether in that case since they won't be picked up anyhow).
Simply checking for --user
in sys.argv
might be enough, though there might be other flags that are relevant.
Proposal for a proper patch
Applied in r6631. Thanks.
