Bug#140858: RFP: gtktrue -- gtk front-end for /bin/true

[Andrew Pimlott <ota-3@andrew.pimlott.net>]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2002-04-01
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : gtktrue
  Version         : 0.1.2
  Upstream Author : Joachim Nilsson <joachim.nilsson@mds.mdh.se>

  Description     : gtk front-end for /bin/true

This package is unfortunately not being maintained upstream.
Perhaps a Debian developer would like to adopt it, and win the
unending gratitude of its users.

Also, I have an important patch.  I include the email I sent to the
author about this patch.  (The author has not responded.)

Joachim,

I ran into a problem using gtktrue in a script.  The script would
not complete if the user was not around to click on "Ok".  I think
power-users of gtktrue (such as myself) would like to be able to use
it non-interactively.  So I made a patch for this.  When invoked
with --batch-mode, gtktrue will display its message for a second,
then exit.

I understand that you are not very interested in maintaining gtktrue
anymore.  However, I still hope you will accept this patch, as it is
critical for anyone using gtktrue in enterprise applications.

Andrew

PS.  I oberved that there weren't enough code formatting styles in
the program, limiting its pedagogic value.  I have made a small
effort towards correcting this.
