Package: wnpp Owner: Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@freenet.de> Severity: wishlist * Package name : tdmenu Version : 0.2.0 Upstream Author : Michelle Konzack <linux4michelle@freenet.de> * URL : http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tdmenu SRC repository : deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main dget : http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tdmenu/tdmenu_0.2.0.dsc * License : Artistic Section : misc Description : tdmenu offers a new menu-method for the menu package and fvwm to beautify the nacked looking menus with icons and sidebars in 33 languages currently. I am using fvwm2 since 7 1/2 years and have beautified all of my menus with sidebars and icons. Now I have considered to add icons and localized Sidebars to the Debian-Menu-System. This was done by heavy rewriting the default /etc/menu-methods/fvwm I do not know, whether other WindowManagers support icons or sidebars but it can added easily at request if I know, how the menus are working. The soucre "tdmenu" create three type of binary packages. 1) tdmenu A meta package which install ALL 2) tdmenu-common Contain the "update-tdmenus" executable and the icons and the default english sidebars. 3) tdmanu-<locale> Each package contain a language set since I am sure no one like to install 39 MByte per default. Since I do not wat to do the job twice, the tanslations <locale> are taken from the "menu" package (Attention: "ku" is incomplete) With the release 0.2.0 "tdmenu" support following 33 languages: ar be bg ca cs da de el en eo es eu fi fr gl he hr hu id it ja ko ku lt nb ne nl nn pt ru sv tr zh_CN Future releases (depends on my free time) will support the rest of the languages like: dz km pl pt_BR ro sk th tl uk vi wo zh_TW Note for Mentors/Developers: I am not able to create dz (Bhutan) and km (Khmer) since it seems there is a bug in the fontpackages any hints what can I do? And last not least, the package will reach version 1.0.0 if all languages supported by the "menu" package are added. Please note: Some Languages need work since I have not a very big experience with fonts and in some languages they look a little bit ugly. If you like to see font changes in some <locale> please let me now, WITH the appropriated Debian font package and the name of the desired font of a size of arround 13-17 (14) pixels. Last note: The package version 0.2.0 is installed on Sarge, Etch and Sid and works (currently) properly without any errors.
