Hi |

This is a request for testing for x11-misc/genmenu - |
4 |
menu generator for various window managers: flux/black-boxes, wmaker and |
5 |
enlightment are supported. |

|

I think I need to clarify a few things: |
8 |
1) this is *not* the "official gentoo menu generator". That thing was |
9 |
discussed couple times, however to be done right it needs some additions to |
10 |
portage infrastructure (the scripts and the database) and apparently as any |
11 |
"nice gui addition" has relatively low priority. Meanwhile I stumbled upon an |
12 |
app that might partially fill the gap and committed it. |
13 |
|
14 |
2) What it does: it merely scans ${PATH} for the apps it knows about and |
15 |
generates menu files for the listed wm's interactively (that is asking if you |
16 |
want meny file to be generated :)) and that is all to it. I modified the |
17 |
script to make backup copies of existing menu files first (stored in the same |
18 |
dir with .orig added). |

Please test and enjoy! |

Please add your success stories to this thread (I would appreciate them as I |
22 |
need to unmask the ebuild eventually). If you will get any problem, please |
23 |
file a bug report. |
24 |
The ebuild is keymasked (that is you will need to remove '~' from KEYWORDS |
25 |
line for yor arch in ebuild if you do not have ~arch added to your |
26 |
make.conf). |
