New lightdm packages with automatic multiseat support in main PPA

 

Hello there!

After some days of tests with successfull results, I'm now moving our
latest lightdm packages for trusty to Ubuntu Multiseat main PPA.

These packages contain two important patches:

* Implement automatic multiseat support. Custom settings for automatically
added seats can be set in [AutoSeat:*] sections (example: [AutoSeat:Foo]
will match logind seat ID "seatFoo"). Related bug #1190581

* Add new seat option start-local-sessions, which can be explicitly set to
false in order to make lightdm start a bare (no greeter) X server (needed
for Xephyr-based multiseat setups). Related bug #1356332

Wiki page should be updated to reflect these new features. All previous
manual seat configuration in lightdm.conf should be edited/removed.
