auto-xflux

Inputless xflux daemon that geocodes based on your external IP address.

This requires working systemd instance and X server for the user executing xflux. It requires an Internet connection to already be established and assumes that the following services are online:

• [icanhazip.com]
• [geocodeip.com]

This also obviously requires xflux (to be accessible in $PATH).

Modification

• Only acquire IPv4 address.
• Fix bug on negative lat/long
• Modified for Debian Jessie KDE
  • Use /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh in order to support Debian KDE
