menulibre-12.11.19.ebuild

There is no ebuild for the MenuLibre software
(http://www.smdavis.us/projects/menulibre/) which provides an advanced menu editor.

I attached an ebuild I made for the latest version (12.11.19).

That looks pretty nifty. I don't suppose if you happen to know if it works with KDE menus too?

I'm not using KDE right now, so I don't know if it's working. All I know is that only Gnome, LXDE, XFCE, and Unity are mentionned on the web page...

menulibre-13.01.4.ebuild

New ebuild :
- updated to latest version
- add forgotten pygobject dependency
- remove yelp dependency to avoid installing unnecessary stuff on non gnome systems and add a warning at the end of the ebuild to inform that yelp is needed to view help contents

Improved ebuild for menulibre:

- EAPI 5, port to distutils-r1 eclass
- add missing dependencies on hicolor-icon-theme and librsvg

what is python_export_best for in _this_ case?

I would prefer python_prepare_all instead of directly assigning src_prepare
same for python_install_all/src_install

[Comment 6 Julian Ospald 2013-02-26 13:12:34 UTC]

a few other things

- I tend to standardize optional dependencies as in:
	elog "optional dependencies:"
	elog "  gnome-extra/yelp (view help contents)"
- gnome2_icon_savelist is missing in pkg_preinst
- afais PYTHON_REQ_USE="xml" is missing
- GdkPixbuf is imported directly, so better add the x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf dep explicitly
- build fails, because out-of-source build is broken

[Comment 7 Julian Ospald 2013-02-26 13:25:26 UTC]

also: linguas handling needs to be improved

it seems that dev-python/python-distutils-extra reads a file called LINGUAS from the po/ dir...

[Comment 8 Julian Ospald 2013-02-26 14:09:17 UTC]

actually the linguas thing is not necessary unless we want explicit linguas_* useflags
