Adding any type of compile time switch adds extra maintenance burden and adds one more thing to test, one more thing that needs to be checked for regressions. One more thing may not seem like much, but increasing the maintenance burden on a project that had nothing to do with the reason something was broken in the first place seems incredibly one-sided and wrong.
- creshal 10y agoIt's not that simple. Without PAM support, tmux is already broken, even on non-systemd distributions, in some corner cases. E.g., starting gpg-agent the "wrong" way breaks it inside tmux sessions, even on sysvinit, if tmux does not register PAM sessions. But, of course, because the bug is only seeing wide-spread attention since systemd triggers it more often, it can't get fixed, because Lennart is the reason we cannot have nice things. Or something.
