Description Ciaran McCreesh 2005-05-14 13:43:13 UTC
For >=fluxbox-0.9.13, the fluxbox guide should be advocating the use of "fluxbox-generate_menu -is -ds" rather than menumaker.
Comment 1 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-05-14 14:10:13 UTC
Ok, explanation as requested:  fbgm is patched by me to properly support Gentoo directory layouts (actually, most of these patches got merged by upstream already). menumaker doesn't know about some of the smarter layouts that we use, so the menus it generates will be missing certain things.

The other option would be to patch menumaker, but I loathe python so I'm not going to do it.

fluxbox-config.xml.diff

as it says in the comment in the patch, this will need to be updated when
0.9.13 becomes stable in portage. that will, however, be a minor patch.

this should fix the issue...

appologies for all the patches. i'm somewhat sleepy and slightly out of it :-P

in any case, this should fix the issues, and be more clear on the whole issue.
Comment 6 Alin Dobre (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-17 09:26:01 UTC
ok, since there were no complains about the changes to the fluxbox guide, i'll
commit them this evening. also, there is one typo (no need for another separate
patch): s/keywork/keyword
Comment 7 Alin Dobre (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-17 12:42:06 UTC
ok, commited. thanks to ciaranm for pointing out the problem and to smithj for
including it into the guide.
