Description sparcmoz 2006-12-09 02:52:02 UTC

OOE680_m6 GNU/Linux SPARC
I dont set any configure flags for --with-build-version. The text in Help-About
dialog includes a name which looks like the user login name. In my case that is
"jim". But the Help-About says "created by jimjim". See screenshot attached.

This might be relevant - the command "users" will return multiple names if there
are several sessions running, for example today:
$ users
jim jim jim jim

$ who
jim      tty1         Dec  9 11:13
jim      tty3         Dec  9 11:27
jim      :0           Dec  9 12:35
jim      pts/0        Dec  9 12:35 (:0.0)

both USER and USERNAME environment variables are used for that.

I guess there already exists an issue about that (at least adding a space in
between and not use both if both are set to the same value), but I cannot find
it right now, maybe I just read it on one of the mailinglists.

Thanks for the hint. Issue 55647 and issue 59514 are relevant.
OOO_VENDOR*=$(USER)$(USERNAME) has been there as a fallback for a long time.
This maybe assumes not both are defined? Perhaps something has changed in my
environment, or perhaps it is caused by some changes to the quoting around
OOO_VENDOR in those issues. 
If only one of USER or USERNAME is required then something like this might be a
solution - but can they ever be different? 
OOO_VENDOR*=$(USER)
OOO_VENDOR*=$(USERNAME)
Not tested yet...
