Notes:
from the previous upload #862371
Request to consider moving the man-pages to
a) <package>.manpages
b) consider moving the manpages to budgie-desktop
I have - as requested - moved the dh_installman statements in
debian/rules to budgie-core.manpages
When building/testing with lintian, warnings were displayed when the
missing manpages were defined with the binary package budgie-desktop.
This is because the binary package budgie-core actually contains all
the built executables. Thus I have left the man-pages within the
budgie-core package.
I suppose I could ignore the warning? or maybe override the lintian
warning? I would welcome your thoughts here. For the moment I have
left the man-pages within budgie-core so that the whole build packages
are as lintian free as possible.
The two new patches here are bug-fixes available upstream. The
"include-menubar-theme.patch" I have included because I would like to
update my other Debian package "budgie-indicator-applet" to utilise
this patch fix but need budgie-desktop to be accepted first [details
of the patch are included within the patch header in debian/patches].
In addition Ubuntu MATE most probably will be requesting sponsorship
of another package soon "vala-panel-appment" and one of the binaries
builds a budgie-desktop applet that will require this patch.
The second patch "0004" I have included here because I want to get
further feedback from testers if indeed this resolves memory leak
issues.
Changes since the last upload:
* Bug-fix release
* Patches
- include-menubar-theme.patch
correctly style budgie applets that
use a GTK+ MenuBar
- 0004-wm-Purge-old-backgrounds-from-the-cache.patch
resolve memory leak when desktop wallpaper changes
* Packaging Changes:
- simplified debian/rules
manpages moved to budgie-core.manpages; each executable in
budgie-core now includes a manpage which enables users to
man the exe name and additionally resolves lintian issues.
make target and install methods moved to a more their more
appropriate targets, auto_build and auto_install respectively.
deleted erroneous override_dh_prep
Regards,
David Mohammed
