Hi, I would kindly ask to Debian Developers interested in the use of Openbox as full environment or used inside a Desktop Manager, to test a package I did and uploaded, with the help of people from Ubuntu-devel and Debian-Mentor IRC chans who I thank for the links and help they provided to me. The package information: ************************** * Package name : openbox-menu Version : 0.3.6.7 Upstream Author : mimas <mimasgpc@free.fr> * URL : http://code.google.com/p/mimarchlinux/wiki/OpenBoxMenu * License : (GPLv3) Programming Lang: (C) Description : Openbox pipe-menu to display entries in *.desktop files. (openbox-menu uses *.desktop files and libmenu-cache to generate, display, and keep Openbox menu entries up to date.) ************************** The link to a tarball containing the package inside a copy of the builddir: http://meets.free.fr/debian/openbox-menu-deb-package.tar.bz2 A set of files for Openbox along with openbox-menu providing the correct configurations and a basis for a good start are also available: http://meets.free.fr/debian/openbox-menu-configuration.tar.bz2 The files in the archive belong to "root:root". Some additional scripts are also inside for more features. I would have usually gone through a package request, but instead I decided to learn how to package, because I have used this one program in several distributions since several years, because I know it has been downloaded more than 4000 times, and I thought I would learn something new such as packaging, and add a contribution here. What this program offers: This program allows the Openbox right-click menus to be refreshed in no time, as you can guess when looking at the screenshots number 1 and 2 in this directory: http://meets.free.fr/debian/images/ the pic n°0 tells you I have setup a Ubuntu Mini to install just what is needed; the pic n°1 shows Claws-mail as first entry in the Internet menu category, and few seconds later I have removed Claws-mail and added Gajim and Xchat, which are shown in pic n°2. Thanks for tests, answers and comments... Regards, Mélodie
