Package: rofi Version: 1.7.5-0.1+b1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: wes...@schwengle.net
Dear Maintainer, I saw a cool thing on /r/unixporn on reddit and it made me look at rofi. I want to replace it for the dmenu call to dmenu of suckless-tools. However there is an issue. rofi states that it is a drop-in replacement for dmenu. If you call rofi as dmenu, eg by linking it ln -s /usr/bin/rofi /usr/bin/dmenu you get to have all the toys. This works pretty well as long as you have suckless-tools installed. Without suckless-tools i3 for example doesn't work correctly. This is because i3 calls dmenu_run, which is provided by suckless-tools. dmenu_run calls /usr/bin/dmenu_path which is also provided by suckless-tools. My question is as follows, is there a way that both suckless-tools and rofi start providing dmenu (as an update-alternatives) and that both suckless-tools and rofi depend on a package that is called dmenu-data which provides dmenu_run and dmenu_path? I filed this against rofi, because rofi is the one not providing some of the crucial infra to be a replacement for dmenu. $ apt-cache depends i3 i3 Depends: i3-wm Recommends: i3lock Recommends: suckless-tools Recommends: dunst By implementing the dmenu_path and dmenu_run scripts from suckless-tools the i3 recommends can be either suckless-tools or rofi. Many thanks!
