~kennylevinsen/greetd#32: 
agreety: '\t' sequence in /etc/issue not respected

my system is currently configured with the following /etc/issue file:

\n - Arch Linux \m \r
\t (\l)

expected behavior: agreety should display the second line the same way as agetty (the current time, followed by the name of the current tty in parenthesis)

actual behavior: agreety displays the second line as a literal \t, followed by the name of the current tty in parenthesis

system information:

  • greetd (and i guess also agreety) 0.8.1
  • agetty from util-linux 2.37.3
  • arch linux

as of the time of writing all packages are up to date

Indeed, only a limited number of /etc/issues escape codes are implemented (https://git.sr.ht/~kennylevinsen/greetd/tree/master/item/agreety/src/main.rs#L43-54). Patches welcome.
