Update to xdg-open 1.1.1

[plynchnlm]

I downloaded xdg-utils and built version 1.1.1. The manual tests for node-open pass, though I did try running them as "sudo" as recommended.

I'd be happy to update to a new stable version of xdg-open. Can you please tell me the steps you took to build this, so I can verify the source?

Thank you very much!

Sure:

1. clone the xdg-utils repository (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/ -- see links at the bottom) and check out version 1.1.1

2. edit scripts/xdg-utils-common.in to fix the version number string. You'll see a line with echo "@NAME@ 1.1.0 rc3". Change that to 1.1.1. I filed a bugzilla report about that, and heard back that it will be fixed with the next version.

3. Ignore what the README says about not needing to run make. The files in the scripts directory are not ready for running.

4. Run ./configure, and then make. I can't remember if I had to run make install. If you need to do that, when you run ./configure add --prefix=somewhere to set your installation path, so it doesn't try to put stuff in /usr/bin. I do remember having to install a package for xmlto, and the lynx text browser to get make to run properly.

If you run into difficulty, you could also just copy opn's xdg-open, which also claims to be 1.1.0 rc3. (It is not the same as 1.1.1, though, but should be at least 1.1.0 rc3.)
