    community/xorg-server: allow rootless X server · add17bdb
    Daniel Santana authored and Leo's avatar Leo committed
    This patch fixes the suid flag in /usr/libexec/Xorg.wrap (instead of
    /usr/libexec/Xorg) and installs the related wrapper script in
    /usr/bin/X, so rootless X server becomes possible without breaking
    systems that still needs root privileges to run X (e.g. GDM). This is
    the same approach used by Debian, Void Linux and many other distros.
