Want to extend?

For directly contributing to this project please check this section.

• Duplicate the copy-me.sh drop-in in the sess_includes/sess_dropins directory.
• Edit it as you want!
• Release it, if you want!
• For a more detailed walkthrough of this please check this article - WIP.

Want to contribute?

• Firstly if you have extended this tool using the instructions above, then you can already do a contribution right now! 🎉
  • Go ahead and raise a PR containing your drop-in, and that's it! Once merged it will be part of the original AUR package.
  • But please not one thing that, it will be only merged if the package is enough generalized (that is might be used by a major group of people).
• Core contribution -
  • Next part is if you want to contribute to the core of this package.
  • Documentation WIP.

How its published to AUR?

• This is published to AUR by a Github action, which is automatically triggered where a new release is published.
• Before creating a new release we have to create a new commit, which updates the package meta-data:
  • Run makepkg, for building the package which updates the version of the package.
  • Run makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO, which dumps the package's meta into .SRCINFO file.
  • These two steps are very much required, because if there is no no change in these files then AUR will decline the push and the package will not be published.

Drop-ins

These are all the drop-ins currently available -

• copy-me - This is the boilerplate drop-in which literally does nothing. This was created at the beginning of the project and will remain till the end.
• change-dns - This allows to change the DNS to some other profile, while in a session.
  • For using this create a conf file under ~/.work-sess-manager/dns_profiles/ folder.
  • And that's it, when you start the command using sess work 1, it will look for work.conf under the above mentioned folder and if found will change the DNS. Please check /etc/systemd/resolved.conf for example of DNS conf file.
