42.1.0

Changelog — Fedora Remix for WSL 42.1.0

Highlights

• XDG (base directories) now consistently defined and auto-created for better standards compliance.
• More reliable graphics/session bootstrap for WSLg: user runtime directories and audio paths are created/cleaned up safely.
• D-Bus session environment is isolated per-user via runtime directories, with tighter exported variables.
• Bash prompt logic rebuilt for clearer behavior and fewer side-effects.
• More robust repository configuration validation for the Fedora Remix repo.

Changes

Environment + XDG

• Added define_xdg_environment to both shell init paths:

  • linux_files/00-remix.sh
  • linux_files/00-remix.fish

• Ensures XDG base directories are set and created when missing (improves app compatibility and reduces “missing dir” edge cases).

• Updated environment persistence (save_environment) to only save variables that are actually set (reduces noise and prevents invalid exports).

Display + runtime directory handling (WSLg/X11)

• Improved WSLg display setup to reliably manage /run/user/$UID plus PulseAudio runtime paths/symlinks.
• Added a new create_userpath helper + sudoers entry to create required runtime paths when needed, including cleanup of stale sockets and missing directories.
• Improved fallback logic to determine Windows host IP for X11 display using route.exe + ip route for higher reliability. thanks @te-horie

D-Bus session management

• D-Bus environment files now live under user-specific runtime directories (better isolation and security posture).
• Only the necessary variables are exported and reused, reducing cross-session contamination.

Shell prompt + packaging

• Rewrote linux_files/bash-prompt-wsl.sh:

  • Applies prompt customization only in Bash and Windows Terminal.
  • Uses clearer constants and export logic to reduce unexpected prompt behavior.

• Ensures correct permissions for the new prompt script in create-targz.sh.

Repo configuration check

• Updated linux_files/check-dnf to directly modify repo files for disabling gpgcheck (more deterministic and scoped to the relevant repo). thanks to @jeffmcutter
