1 I think thats the basic idea... The thing would be that portage should provide
2 a couple of functions to easy the process of adding an entry to the menu.
3
4 Somethink like
5
6 add_menu(){
7 mkdir -p ${MENUDIR}
8 cat >> ${MENUDIR}/${PN} << EOF
9 ?package(${P}): section="$2" icon="$3" title="$4" longtitle="$5" needs="$1"
10 command="oo$1" $mimetypes_item
11 EOF
12 }
13
14 So in an ebuild you could have...
15
16 add_menu Applications/Games amor.png "A waste of cpu" "Amor, a game" x11
17
18 Of course this is just a quick idea, I think that the function could be better
19 implemented so the way to call it is more straight forward.
