Hi all,
I want to get some advice for what is a good way to create
/usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/foo.desktop files for X/Qt2 and xqtlauncher.
Currently only xkbd is included. There is a
xqtlauncher-xkbd-desktop.bb file which creates a package that depends
on xkbd and includes a /usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/xkbd.desktop file.
Now I want to add other packages like minimo as well. For this I need
to create a lot of .bb files at xqtlauncher/xqtlauncher-foo-desktop.bb.
I now created two proofe of concept scripts [1][2] (they need to be
tested). One, which parses /usr/share/applications/*.desktop files
and generates /usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/*.desktop files out of them.
And another, searches for files in /usr/lib/opie/apps/XQt2/*.desktop
which are no longer present at /usr/share/applications and removes
the matching generated files.
Advantages:
- no need to create a lot of .bb files
- users can just do opkg install foo + convert script (or restart)
Disadvantages:
- the files are not under control of the package manager!
- user needs to act (restart or clicking the convert script)
If someone wants I can provide my qemuarm images for testing.
So what do you think?
What about running the script at the start of xqt?
For this you need to have at least one .desktop file generated already
but it would be possible as an additional feature. I like to run them at
startup and provide two icons for them. Do you like the script idea more
or less than the package idea?
best regards
