Only if gnome wasn't in the USE. But that is a good point, if gnome is |
| 10 |
added to the USE later. But then a separate stand alone script could be |
| 11 |
made to parse /var/db/pkg/ and just merge any menu items not present |
| 12 |
that would be with the new USE variable (ok maybe I'm stretching abit :) |

Except from my experience debians menu system becomes a complete mess. |
| 20 |
Having to drill down through multiple submenus to get to what you want. |
| 21 |
I, personally don't care for that. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The advantage to this implementation, is that the menu item is inserted |
| 24 |
into the existing submenus categories. |

Hi! |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
My thought on this issue would be the addition of a 'domenu' helper |
| 35 |
script that could be a one line addition in the src_install function. |
| 36 |
For example, |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
src_install() { |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
make blah blah install || die |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
dodoc blah blah |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
domenu |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
} |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The 'domenu' script would cascade through the desktop USE variables |
| 50 |
(i.e. gnome, kde, etc , might have to add some for other desktops that |
| 51 |
don't already have a USE variable.) If the USE variable for a |
| 52 |
particlular desktop is set then insert a menu item. for example (off |
| 53 |
the top of my head, so illustrative, not necessarily working), |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
if use gnome; then |
| 56 |
if [ -e ${FILESDIR}/${PN}.desktop]; then |
| 57 |
submenu=$( grep Type ${FILESDIR}/${PN}.desktop | \ |
| 58 |
sed "s:\(Type=\)\([[:alpha:]]*\).*:\2:" ) |
| 59 |
insinto /usr/share/gnome/apps/${submenu} |
| 60 |
doins ${FILESDIR}/${PN}.desktop |
| 61 |
fi |
| 62 |
if [ -e ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-logo.*]; then |
| 63 |
insinto /usr/share/pixmaps |
| 64 |
doins ${FILESDIR}/${PN}-logo.* |
| 65 |
fi |
| 66 |
fi |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
Presumably, someone familar with the other desktop environments menus |
| 69 |
could work up a similar section for those. |
