Closes: #53933, #52961 * added a `repeat_lang="LOCALE"' directive, to get back the old `unasked for' translation behavior (where update-menus would translate into the current LOCALE). -- joost witteveen Wed, 5 Jan 2000 22:09:12 +0100 menu (2.1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low * This is an interim release; it breaks the (never used anyway) `old' gettext translations, but allows gnome etc WM's to creat startup files with translations for various languages. * moved last files from /usr/doc to /usr/share/doc. Same for /usr/info. * install-menu: added a translate() function. * install-menu: added a forall() function. -- joost witteveen Sun, 5 Dec 1999 19:04:42 +0100 menu (2.1.4-4) unstable; urgency=low * Applied patch in 47259, to fix spaces/tabs in menu.sgml.

Closes: #50867, #50298 * !include-ed files in the menu-methods are also looked for in /etc/menu-methods, if they cannot be found in ~/.menu-methods. (if non-root starts install-menus). * (install-menu) error message if $section etc are empty should be clearer about that menu first reads whole line, and that somewhere on that line section wasn't defined. * (adstring.cc) if `basepos' in report() isn't 0, then maybe I should print `[...]' at the start of the line. -- joost witteveen Mon, 22 Nov 1999 22:36:16 +0100 menu (2.1.4-3) unstable; urgency=low * Upgraded debhelper, and added usr/doc link removeal/link creation stuff in prerm/postinst. * Upgraded standards version. * now use `string::size_type' for all string iterators, rather than `unsigned int'. Closes: #47177 -- joost witteveen Tue, 12 Oct 1999 21:43:26 +0200 menu (2.1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low * In update-menus, terminate arguments to execve /etc/menu-methods/* scripts with NULL.

Caused by clearing of enviromenent of new update-menus. Fixed (in install-menu). * In update-menus, just before execve-ing the /etc/menu-methods/* scritps, close(1), and then dup it from fd 0. This appears to make pipes work again in the postrun etc commands in the /etc/menu-methods/* scripts.

(in default menu files, should be in gpm/dpkg packages anyway). * Applied patch from Joey Hess, to close open filehandles. * Fixed error in adstring.h, that caused (one) compilation error on newer versions of g++/libstdc++ * Fixed minor `possibly uninitialised variable' warning * Replaced -Wall with -W on the g++ commandline, as a bug in newer g++ or libstdc++-dev versions cause a whole load of warning messages, on just including rope.h. -- joost witteveen Sat, 2 Oct 1999 22:28:08 +0200 menu (2.1.3-1) unstable; urgency=low * Updated the description of this package, as it was somewhat outdated. * Added /etc/menu-methods/menu.config to the conffiles. Fixes: Bug#42379 * use sigprocmask to unblock the signal I use. Under apt, libc&pthread used to block SIGUSR1. To get around this, also use SIGUSR2 now. I don't want to see this bug any more!

Added printf just before the exit(0) in the signal hander, and made the debugging output slightly more clear. -- joost witteveen Sat, 31 Jul 1999 01:39:06 +0200 menu (2.1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low * Test-release for bug 42051. Added tests for returnvalues of fork() and kill() calls. Although it seems unlikely that fork() returning -1 is the cause of the hangs, it is good to exclude it. -- joost witteveen Thu, 29 Jul 1999 12:52:11 +0200 menu (2.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * #41783, `furter->further'; * #41783, delete empty logfiles. Fixes: #41783 (Note: the empty logfile does stay some time in /tmp: it only vanishes when update-menus finished running). * Using signals to communicate between forked-in-background child and parent as to when the parent can exit(0). Now the second update-menus started in one run of dpkg will (by default) exit totally silently. -- joost witteveen Fri, 23 Jul 1999 16:23:13 +0200 menu (2.1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed segfault on empty menu-entry-files.

Fixed. -- joost witteveen Tue, 6 Jul 1999 04:34:48 +0200 menu (2.1.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * menu.text now called menu.txt, fixing: #40569 * While I was at it, also added menu.info * Now use automake, autoconf. * Now use debhelper * Now i18n-ized. (Though only available language is Esperanto, and it's not very much use internationalising menu, as it only is used by system admins etc. I done it mostly to get experience with the process). * Also `i18n'-ized the text in the Debian tree. So, if you now do "LC_ALL=eo update-menus", the tree (and some titles) will appear in Esperanto (That's the only language available now). Documentation, and some structure for the maintainers work etc, shoudl still be provided, but techinically it's working. -- joost witteveen Tue, 6 Jul 1999 03:25:53 +0200 menu (2.0.0-5) unstable; urgency=low * Removed bugs from the hint_mixedpenalty, should now work OK. * removed strange code that would cause menu to write to the rootprefix instead of userprefix, if userprefix didn't exist. * Speedup, especially for systems with big menutrees. * Added for menu-methods: onlyrunasroot, onlyrunasuser, preruntest -- joost witteveen Tue, 29 Jun 1999 21:57:46 +0200 menu (2.0.0-4) unstable; urgency=low * Applied spelling-fixes patch to install-fvwmgenmenu.sh. Fixes: #39847 * Added file /usr/doc/menu/menu.text.gz. Fixes: #39829 * Added sort= definition in install-menu config file. Now it's possible to sort depending on whether something is a submenu etc. * Added a hint_mixedpenalty parameter to the hint optimization routines. (still buggy) -- joost witteveen Tue, 22 Jun 1999 23:45:36 +0200 menu (2.0.0-3) unstable; urgency=low * Spelling fixes by Ray dassen * removed bashisms in debian/rules * minor corrections to menu.sgml * the cat `menu-method' now doesn't cercumvent the silly compat restrictions of menu-1.5 any more, as those restrictions don't exist any more. * oops, nearly made lintian report an error, as install-fvwmgenmenu.sh didn't have an manual page yet... (Created one, and updated the install-fvwmgenmenu manual page) * upped the default hint_mlpenalty in menu.h to 2000, as it seems that people with more packages installed need it, and execution time doesn't really grow to the moon. -- joost witteveen Sun, 20 Jun 1999 22:56:53 +0200 menu (2.0.0-2) unstable; urgency=low * Added little bit of info about the hints in /usr/doc/menu/menu.sgml (and corrected errors) * added compat= option in the update-menus config file, so that one could also have all menu entry files in menu-2 format (though that is not advisable!) * fixed bug in install-fvwmgenmenu.sh script, that would generate wrong cp commant in explanation of what to do. -- joost witteveen Sat, 19 Jun 1999 16:30:45 +0200 menu (2.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * Hints. (automatic optimization of menu tree) * Removed /usr/lib/menu/default/debiandoc-sgml, fixes: 32530 * changed /etc/menus/ to /etc/menu in menufile(5). * in update-menus I now check for the return value of stat() * Finally removed that compat code. Now all menu-method files that still used the two-years old syntax will not work any more (generate an nice message, as opposed to the segfault in 1.5-20). Also, the first (#!/...) line in the menu-method scripts doesn't have to be "#!/usr/sbin/install-menu" any more, as the new-syntax menu data is now always used. * Now using stl rope, instead of that home-brewn replacement of the String class from libg++. * typo in default dpkg menuentry file. * update-menus doesn't read menu entry files that have names that end in ".bak" or start with "menu.config". * There's now a `menu-2' compat mode, where you don't have to use '\' at the end of every continuation line, but have to use ';' to signal the end of a line of input. (activate in menu-method files by "compat=menu-2", or in any file with "!C menu-2") * Fixed segmentation fault in Translate stuff, and another error that caused update-menus to use only the first translate definition in /etc/menu-methods/translate_menus -- joost witteveen Fri, 18 Jun 1999 21:50:18 +0200 menu (1.5-20) unstable; urgency=low * added rm -rf debian/files, to clean target in rules file, fixes: 34178 * removed bash-isms from the example postinst file in the documentation. * many other documentation updates. * mentioned in the docs that you can use `#' as comment specifier in the menu entry files. Fixes: 34371 * removed xbase menu-entry-file. Fixes: ???. Hope all entries in there really now are present in the X packages, though. * removed xrn, xpuzzles, tcsh, rxvt, latex2html, imagemagick default menuentry files, as they are now all in their own packages. * spelling fix in su-to-root (priveleges -> privileges), fixes: 35720 * new functions: level(), firstentry(), lastentry(), nstring() * entrycount() now doesn't return the number of entries in submenu of the current child, but the number of entries in this menu. * Although the $sort support was largely untested, it does work. Added better explanation to menu.sgml * error messages now report the line with the error better. * New functions: rcfile() examplercfile() mainmenutitle() rootsection() rootprefix() userprefix() treewalk() postoutput() preoutput(). They output whatever they are defined to be in the menu-method file. Fixes: 36171 -- joost witteveen Sat, 1 May 1999 16:57:59 +0200 menu (1.5-19) unstable; urgency=low * Finaly fixed that `cannot remove lockfile' bug. (now using `real' advisory locking, this really appears neccecary). the new mechanism is a lot simpler, and every second update-menus that gets started will die itself if there's already a lock on the pidfile. For this, also changed the postinst file, to `manually' kill any old update-menus still running, as in this case we really want the new update-menus to take over (not the old one). -- joost witteveen Thu, 4 Mar 1999 23:10:58 +0100 menu (1.5-18) unstable; urgency=low * s/Udate/Update/, in update-menus.cc. fixes: 30214 * removed definition of def_error in configinfo, so that `throw def_error' can now be caught outside the configinfo class. Maybe this fixes NN. (not sure, cannot reproduce it). * default `verbosity' level is now `quiet', fixing: 30372 * Added information about the /etc/menu-methods/menu.config file, as this was completely lacking in the manual page. -- joost witteveen Sun, 6 Dec 1998 21:20:37 +0100 menu (1.5-17) frozen; urgency=low * Added 'technical' section to preferred menu layout. (promised to do that already long ago...) * If install-menu runs as user, $rootprefix/ is used if $userprefix doesn't exist. Fixes 26851, but not as nicely as Joey suggests. (install-menu tests for the existance of the directory, not for the files within that dir, so if $userprefix exists, it has to contain all files). * Updated standards version. * Added manual pages for install-menu, install-fvwmgenmenu, su-to-root wm-menu-config (for lintian) * Fixed some misplacements in the menu.sgml file. In particular, part of the section intended for `packages with wm's', was put under `packages with applications'. This should have caused serious confusion. -- joost witteveen Tue, 20 Oct 1998 22:33:00 +0200 menu (1.5-16) unstable; urgency=low * Corrected 'WindowManagers' entry in preferred menu tree (in the docs) * Added plurals to pixmap directories. Fixes: 26479 * Changed 8 spaces to one tab in debian/rules. Fixes:26865 -- joost witteveen Sun, 20 Sep 1998 20:54:01 +0200 menu (1.5-15) unstable; urgency=low * Applied suggested changes in bugreport 25231. Fixes: 25231 * Added Apps/hamradio to preferred menu structure (nobody but hamradioers will see it anyway (request by: Joop Stakenborg, stakenborg@hyph.azr.nl)) * replaced '[[:space:]]' with '[ \t]' in update-menus. Should at least make menu work around sed changes (Fixes: 25035) * Moved 'waiting for dpkg to finnish' message to just before the fork(), so that the user will now see it where it's expected (before, the message sometimes came after dpkg started installing the next pacakge). Also the message now only comes with the '-v' option. -- joost witteveen Fri, 14 Aug 1998 22:24:43 +0200 menu (1.5-14) unstable; urgency=low * Added "Apps/Text" to the documentation * now uses "dpkg --get-selections" to get the installed packages. * applied suggested patch to su-to-root (default exit 1, only retry if user answered Y or y). -- joost witteveen Sat, 11 Jul 1998 22:30:08 +0200 menu (1.5-13) unstable; urgency=low * Removed the packaging manual entry. * removed comments in the debian/rules file from imurdoc, saying it was "last modified 1994", and other rather out of date stuff. * Fixes to compile with egcs. (now uses optimisation!) * More understandable error message if menuentry files are incorrectly installed executable. * update-menus now installs without the executable bit on, the postinst turns it on. -- joost witteveen Sat, 23 May 1998 16:33:12 +0200 menu (1.5-12) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Fixed postrm example in documentation. (actually, quite serious -- many window managers should now be changed, but fortunately the bug fixed doesn't occur very easily). * Fixed mis-handling of files that don't end with newline. noticed by Jochen Kronjaeger (thanks!) -- joost witteveen Mon, 23 Mar 1998 20:42:14 +0100 menu (1.5-11) unstable; urgency=low * Went through the buglist again, and updated the default menuentryfiles (and removed those that now exists in other debian packages). Fixes: 13880 15081 17171 17215 17292. -- joost witteveen Sun, 15 Mar 1998 10:39:08 +0100 menu (1.5-10) unstable; urgency=low * Oh, yes, Aaron Howell, you were right. I did forget to close (free) some files. Fixed that, so this fixes: 17253 * Fixed error in install-menu that caused the creation directories in / (at least for KDE and wmaker. Not sure why not for other wm's) -- joost witteveen Sun, 15 Mar 1998 10:02:23 +0100 menu (1.5-9) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed several possible segmentation faults (all in error-reporting routines) * Input buffer for 'readline' increased to 10240 bytes. Fixes: #19482 (should really fix this sometime) -- joost witteveen Thu, 12 Mar 1998 21:23:13 +0100 menu (1.5-8) unstable; urgency=low * Removed reference to README in all files where it was still referenced.

Do not edit (see /usr/doc/menu/README)" to point to /usr/doc/menu/html/index.html. (This is placed at the top of the files install-menu generates). * document the availability of "!include file" in the menuentry files * Changed a "~/menu-methods" to "~/.menu-methods" in update-menus.1 * Numerous changes to the documentation, after many suggestions from Yann Dirson (thanks!) * Applied patch from Herberd, fixes:19056 * removed the libg++ dependancy code (not the libg++ package, it still uses libstdc++). -- joost witteveen Sun, 8 Mar 1998 12:00:13 +0100 menu (1.5-7) unstable; urgency=low * Really added wm-menu-config file (Fixes: #17169) * compressed menufile.5 (Fixes: #17168) * Added geometry to rxvt entry in menu.h (as suggested in #17171) * Really removed gv default menuentry. (Fixes: #17170) -- joost witteveen Fri, 16 Jan 1998 02:23:13 +0100 menu (1.5-6) unstable; urgency=low * done nothing at all, fixes: #13648, #13657, #13676, #13677, #13680, #15765 (fixing 6 GRAVE bugs, by doing nothing) * Removed default menufiles for xlockmore, fixes: #10831 * Added the "suggested" variables "geometry" and "visability" to the menu.sgml file, and /etc/menu-method/menu.h. * Added some comments to /usr/doc/menu/examples/cat * Fixed the dpkg default menuentry file. Fixes: #14170, #15847 * Finally applied (most of) patch supplied by Nikita Schmidt. Fixes: #14318 * removed convert-menuentry, fixes: #15914 * Applied patch from Dirk Luetjens fixes: Bug#15871 * Now compresses update-menus.1 manual page fixes: #14569 * Compressed changelog.Debian. Fixes: #15429 * Removed the following default menuentry files: afterstep ddd fvwm2 fvwm95 gnuplot gv menu olvwm pixmap procps vim xfig xpaint xxgdb as they are already present in the packages themselves. (list supplied by Andreas Jellinghaus ) * Added a wm-menu-config script, and updated documentation. Now window managers are encouraged to use this instead of directly calling update-menus. (the script does more). -- joost witteveen Thu, 15 Jan 1998 00:48:08 +0100 menu (1.5-5) unstable; urgency=low * Added ifelsefile, and catfile functions for Andreas Jellinghaus. -- joost witteveen Tue, 7 Oct 1997 22:21:24 +0200 menu (1.5-4) unstable; urgency=low * Removed several "debugging" files (gmon.out, output of strace, etc). * Now really create html documentation during pacakge build. -- joost witteveen Thu, 18 Sep 1997 19:38:27 +0200 menu (1.5-3) unstable; urgency=low * Fixed a bug found by a close cooperation with the xpat2 maintainer and Lars Wirzenius: if a menuentry (for xpat2 in this case) begins with "?package(non-installed-package)", and has less than some number of variable-assignements after the colon, update-menus reported an error. (if there are "enough" assignemnts, no error will be reported, but update-menu would create a bogus menuentry). Good work, guys! * Switched the "postinst" and "postrm" labels in the documentation, fixing bug#12522 (and 12521, for that matter). * added a much bigger xbase menuentry file. This one really should go into xbase itself, and Mark asked me for it, but I've had too little time to really check this. Hopefully by including it in menu it will recieve some more checking, untill I feel confident enough to send it to Mark Eichin. * Removed xlockmore menuentry file, is now part of xlockmore. * (and I removed another menuentry file, but cannot remember which one). -- joost witteveen Thu, 18 Sep 1997 19:18:44 +0200 menu (1.5-2) unstable; urgency=low * Added a sanity-check for instal-menus config file (prevents setfaults). * removed xlockmore default menu entries, they are now in the xlockmore package (or will be, soon). * corrected default dpkg menu entries. -- joost witteveen Sun, 3 Aug 1997 22:19:11 +0200 menu (1.5-1) unstable; urgency=low * Added entrycount(), entryindex functions. * Added add(), sub(), mult(), div() functions. * moved cmap.xpm to .../pixmaps * now includes sgml and html versions of README. (due to restrictions of debiandoc, no info files can be made!) -- joost witteveen Sun, 13 Jul 1997 13:13:11 +0200 menu (1.4-2) unstable; urgency=low * Now depends on libg++272. (Made possible by a dpkg-source bugfix from Joey Hess). * Few fixes to how debugging/error output is handled (cosmetic). * this release still has a (harmless) race-condition (noticed by Joey Hess),when two update-menus programmes run simultaniously while dpkg -i something is running (or Suspended). -- joost witteveen Thu, 10 Jul 1997 23:05:14 +0200 menu (1.4-1) unstable; urgency=low * Due to extra features/bugreporting, this version doesn't work well with the menu-bugs in fvwm95_2.0.42a-10, and latex2html_96.1.h-5. * added ability do "define" functions to install-menu. (very usefull if you want to have a common xterm/rxvt for all window managers) * '!include \"/etc/menu-method/filename\"' * read !include "filename" relative to current direcotry * provide /etc/menu-method/menu.h example file. * parsing of (all) files files somewhat rewritten; should be more stable now (except for bugs). * trailing spaces are stripped (so a \ at the end of the line will always be a continuation line, even if there's a space after it). * _Much_ better error reporting. * removed all those pesky "icon=none" from the example menufiles. * in new menu format, "package(local.*)" is considered installed * fix bug in hotkey generation * first check for "examplercfile" (system.$wm-menu), and then create output file. * made the README in /usr/doc/menu/example/README somewhat clearer as to what the purpose of these files is * incorporated afterstep-package menu-method's into my example menu-method (allong with the "!include menu.h" stuff). * install-menu: added toupper() and tolower() functions * do not attempt to read menuentry files with the name "core". * Using libc6 now * fixed gpmconfig entry. * added Joey's cmap.xpm file. * in compat mode (for old /etc/menu-methods's), write esccpp($title) as identifier (fixes "install-menu uses text instead of x11 entry" bug). * in case of missing "section=" (in new-format menuentry), assume seciont="/". (fixes a reported bug, I believe). * "+" can now be part of a package name, in new-format menuentries. (previously, doc++ and libg++ couldn't have a new-format menuentry). * executable menuentries are now executed, and the stdout used as menuentry (nice feature request from Joey Hess) * update-menus now reads config info in /etc/menu-methods/menu.config (or ~/.menu-methods/menu.config). Currently can specify only error logging. (set "verbosity=quite" in /etc/menu-methods/menu.config to remove all messages). Not very well tested yet. -- joost witteveen Sat, 21 Jun 1997 13:24:55 +0200 menu (1.3-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low * couple of simple bug-fixes. All not very serious, but would like this to go into frozen anyway. * fixed menuentry(5) manual page (was simply wrong) * made the default install messages somewhat nicer (in order not to scare away newbies) * Redirected stderr of the killall command in postinst to /dev/null * fixed typos in extended description (in control file). -- joost witteveen Wed, 14 May 1997 22:13:01 +0200 menu (1.3-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Only change: added ifeq(), ifneq(), ifeqelse(), ifroot() to install-menu (and the README). * Added a "killall update-menus" to postinst (to prevent problems if update-menus is upgraded along with other packages that use it). -- joost witteveen Thu, 8 May 1997 12:43:00 +0200 menu (1.2-3) frozen unstable; urgency=low * Another two-line-fix to update-menus, fixing the compat mode code. (if no icon was defined, that resulted in errors for the compat mode). * I would like this release to go into frozen, as it does fix a long-standing bug (still present in frozen), and will improve many people's experience with the menu's after isntalling some "unstable" packages (some of which may need the new menu functionality). -- joost witteveen Mon, 5 May 1997 15:29:12 +0200 menu (1.2-2) unstable; urgency=low * Thanks, Andy Mortimer, for noticing I don't close the fd's. doing that now. -- joost witteveen Sat, 3 May 1997 15:43:46 +0200 menu (1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low * Changes to README (documents parent(), basename()). * Slichtly changed the dpkg-lockfile detection in update-menus, after a report from Andy Mortimer -- joost witteveen Sat, 3 May 1997 14:52:45 +0200 menu (1.2) unstable; urgency=low * Fixes to example dwww script (though Jim Pick has a much better one) * Fixes to install-menu, for submenu entries. * Fixes to update-menus, no core dup on malformed "?package(..)" in menuentry files. * extra functions replacewith(), prefix() (install-menu) * make hotkeys case-insensitive. * the genmenu=, prerun=, postrun= assignments can now contain substitutions just like the startmenu etc ones. * Added a "|| errno==EACCES" after the attempt to lock the dpkg lockfile to hopefully check for all possible errno valus fcntl creates. * changed the "your system is messed up badly" message to something nicer (now it is "please help me track down this problem I have") * update-menus only gives the "forking to backround" text when it didn't kill any other update-menus (so you'll only see it once in a multy-package install session). -- joost witteveen Wed, 30 Apr 1997 22:55:57 +0200 menu (1.1) unstable; urgency=low * Added a few more example-menumenthods (afterstep, ctwm, twm, fvwm, fvwm95, dwww). With dwww you now have descriptions of the packages in the http://rulcmc.leidenuniv.nl/dwww/menu.html page. (make that http://localhost/dwww/menu.html, after you've instaled it). * These new menu-methods are now better than the old ones, as they properly quote the title. * fixed a few bugs in install-menu that caused it to interpret ifnempty() and ifempty() the wrong way around (also ifelse,...). * fixed permissions in /usr/doc/examples/* * fixed a few "default" menuentries. -- joost witteveen Mon, 21 Apr 1997 23:30:28 +0200 menu (1.0) unstable; urgency=low * complete remake, added a lot of functionality. * New features - support for long titles and descriptions, - much more flexible /etc/menu-methods files, - if dpkg is running, forks into background, to get rid of that "need to run update-menus twice" syndrome. - support for hotkeys * see /usr/doc/menu/BUGS for known limitations of this release. -- joost witteveen Wed, 16 Apr 1997 20:06:45 +0200 menu (0.11) unstable; urgency=low * fix "#" bug (a # is only a comment if it follows a space or newline) * add an example to create a www page for packages providing "dwww" documentation -- joost witteveen Thu, 23 Jan 1997 22:27:30 +0100 menu (0.10) unstable; urgency=low * Manpages by Joey Hess (now it's a real package!) * if user runs, and ~/.menu-methods exists, read the config files from there (and don't process /etc/menu-methods). * Add support for olvwm ("treewalk" attribute /etc/menumethods) * -f -stdio is now standard (options are ignored, and always passed on to /etc/menu-methods/*) * files in /etc/menu-methods with anything other than letters/figures/_- are silently ignored by update-menus * some speedup in install-fvwmgenmenu (not as much as I'd hoped). * added $d{var}, $s{var}, $b{var} variable substitutions (request from Joey Hess). * if getuid()!=0, also parse /etc/menus, /usr/lib/menus. * Moved Lockscreen and Savescreen to Screen/ in default menus -- joost witteveen Sun, 12 Jan 1997 00:46:38 +0100 menu (0.9) unstable; urgency=low * "popup" bugfix * Don't read /etc/menu-methods/*.* files (with a dot in it, usually backup files from dpkg). -- joost witteveen Fri, 3 Jan 1997 14:31:15 +0100 menu (0.8) unstable; urgency=low * Fixing longstanding bug (one Joey reported loads of times) when update-menus is run from a postinst (from a previously uninstalled package), update-menus assumes this pacage is not installed. Fixed by looking at commandline of ppid, and checking for "bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/$package.postinst" * The fvwmgenmenu now has a more general compat mode that should supports all window-managers, without recompilation. For more robustness, this mode is incompatible with the old install-fvwm2menu programme, though (different/no cache files). * update-menus has a mode to pipe the menuentries through stdin of the menu-method installer programmes (-f --stdin option). This should make everything somewhat faster. * The old /etc/menu-methods/* config files may not work any more. (Although I tried fvwm95, and that still works). If your window manager doesn't have the debian menus any more, please copy the relevant files from /usr/doc/menu/examples to /etc/menu-methods, and run "update-menus -f". * removes couple of /usr/lib/menu/default files that now are in the packages themselves. * update-menus hands -f uption to menu-methods -- joost witteveen Sun, 15 Dec 1996 22:37:25 +0100 menu (0.7) unstable; urgency=low * Added some 9wm support (now gwm is the only manager without support) (Although only the pdmenu and fvwm95 packages support it. The other window manager have support files in /usr/doc/menu/examples) * One bugfix in update-menus. * Added a few shells. These are in the "/Apps/Shells" section, and therefore I had to rename "/Shells" to "/XShells". That OK with everybody? * fvwm/twm/9wm install-fvwmgen menu compat modes now use full id's for the submenu's (request from Joey) * install-fvwmgenmenu now replaces $%{icon} with %icon% if icon!="none" in the "supported" section in the config file. This is added to the example config files for install-fvwmgenmenu -- joost witteveen Fri, 13 Dec 1996 19:01:39 +0100 menu (0.6) unstable; urgency=low * Added example files for twm and afterstep window manager. (along with the already avaliable fvwm, fvwm2 example files). * Again, the "default" support for fvwm2 has been removed (version 0.5), as this should be in fvwm2. See /usr/doc/menu/examples/${wm} on how to add support. -- joost witteveen Sun, 8 Dec 1996 21:53:52 +0100 menu (0.5) unstable; urgency=low * do space-stripping for fvwm2 (should be in fvwm2 package, but never mind) -- joost witteveen Sun, 1 Dec 1996 13:54:10 +0100 menu (0.4) unstable; urgency=low * if the .updated-menus "cache" file has incorrect entries, update-menus could loop forever. Removed this bug. -- joost witteveen Thu, 28 Nov 1996 12:28:17 +0100 menu (0.3) unstable; urgency=medium * Added Depends: shlibs line to controlfile. * allowed for spaces in description fields (quote them with "sp ace") (so now the "hello" App/Programming entry works!) * install default menufile if new one in /etc/menu vanished * Assume all packages called "local*" to be installed * Now has provision for starting other menu managers (twm), and fvwm{,2} modules (mostly untested). (this should be in the fvwm2 package, though). Note that due to a bug in fvwm2 (install-fvwm2menu?) these don't work, at the moment. (See BUGS file in source) * First remove the menu-id's of to-be-updated menufiles, as the old menufile may have stale menu-id's in it. * Added "-v" (verbose) option to update-menus and /etc/menu-methods/fvwm2 * Still using filenames to encode the package names, but Lars has nearly convinced me! (If only I knew how solaris works). Still, I made the default menuentries conform Lars' ideas, and people using this package can just make (temporarily) both the filename and the entryid have the package name in it. -- joost witteveen Wed, 27 Nov 1996 21:08:02 +0100 menu (0.2) unstable; urgency=low * Added a few README's to the menu directories * now advice the packages to put their menufiles in /usr/lib/menu, after suggestion form Joey. * Removed buglet from update-menus. * Next is from the (unreleased) 0.1 version: * Totally changed menu idea; the menu files are now conffiles living in /etc/menu; and systemadm and users can run update-menus any time something changed in the /etc/menu or the user's ~/.menu database. * Users can override system-wide menu-database. (this is currently not fully implemented: there still is a bug when removing system-menu entries) * This menu-package now provides some 50 menu entries in /usr/lib/menu after installes this package you'll get a nice menu instantly, and hopefully, this will serve as a skeleton for other pacakge provides. (of cource, /etc/menu entries override the /usr/lib/menu entries). -- joost witteveen Mon, 25 Nov 1996 20:35:34 +0100 menu (0.1) unstable; urgency=low * Totally changed menu idea; the menu files are now conffiles living in /etc/menu; and systemadm and users can run update-menus any time something changed in the /etc/menu or the user's ~/.menu database. * Users can override system-wide menu-database.
