I will remind everyone at Debian that Gammastep is a fork of Redshift that is maintained and accepting pull requests. It still supports all of the FOSS backends that Redshift supports (only Windows and macOS support were removed, not X or DRM; Wayland support was added). You may also find this fix, that has been included in gammastep for over 2 years, helpful: https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep/-/commit/9db19f5ccfad20ab7b501daedcfd5ef137860dd2 Gammastep in Debian could use an update, from 2.0.2 to 2.0.9. There have been some relevant fixes since the last version was uploaded to Sid. https://gitlab.com/chinstrap/gammastep/-/blob/master/NEWS.md |

I had a conflict with the config file. To make `~/.config/redshift/redshift.conf` work i had to make changes to `/etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.redshift`. Also the configfile cannot be a softlink! jonls/redshift#850 (comment) jonls/redshift#864 jonls/redshift#672

src/config-ini.c still looks for $HOME/.config/redshift.conf which
fails to open because the apparmor profile doesn’t allow it.
src/config-ini.c also does this:
Since getpwuid doesn’t have access to /etc/passwd* it returns NULL,
causing a segmentation fault in the line thereafter.
This code is not triggered if a config is specified (e.g.
-c redshift.conf) or $HOME/.config/redshift.conf exists.
