This "package" is inspired by the install-fvwm2-menu from the debian fvwm2,
but it tries to provide a somewhat more general interface for
menu-building. With the update-menus command from this package,
(and the /usr/lib/menu/$package files),
no package needs to be modified for every X window manager again,
and it provides a unified interface for both text- and X-oriented
programmes.
Note that substantial changes took place with the menu-1.0 release.
This README describes menu-1.0, most notable changes are listed in
README.changes, and README.pre1 is the old README (please don't use
it!).
************************
*It works like this:
Each package includes a file in /usr/lib/menu/package-name. In this
file, it will have one line per menu-entry, like this (from
/usr/lib/menu/xbase):
?package(xbase):command="/usr/bin/X11/xedit" icon="none" needs="X11" \
section="Apps/Editors" title="Xedit"
This describes the type of interface the package needs (X11),
the menu section the menu entry should be in, possibly
an icon, the menu text, and the command that should be executed.
Whenever root runs update-menus, it will check all new or
changed menufiles in /etc/menu and /usr/lib/menu,
and run the installation scripts display managers like fvwm2
should provide in /etc/menu-methods on them.
The menu package itself provides a set of default menu files,
for people to get the idea, and to speed things up a bit
(These files should be incorporated into the package).
************************
* (User-) Configuring the menu's
A user can specify her/his own menu entries in the ~/.menu directory.
The files can have any name you want, and should start with either:
?package(installed-package):
or, if it's something that isn't "debian-officially" installed, with
?package(local.mystuff):
(any "package" that starts with "local." is considered installed).
If your using old format menuentryfiles should have names of
installed packages, or "local.name", as update-menus assumes any
Any "package" that starts with "local." is considered installed.
(due to a bug in menu-1.3 this didn't work then).
If a user wants to have his own menu-methods, s/he should create a
~/.menu-methods directory, and put all scripts s/he wants to be run
in there (if ~/.menu-methods exists, /etc/menu-methods will not be
searched when a user runs update-menus).
A system administrator should place system-wide menuentries in /etc/menu,
(not in /usr/lib/menu/package, those will be overridden after an upgrade
of package).
************************
* Specifying "No-menu-entry"
If a user wants to remove an entry from the system menu (in /etc/menu),
then this will do the trick:
echo -n > ~/.menu/package
The zero-size file will tell update-menus that the corresponding
package should not have any menu-entries listed.
************************
* What should the each package do to use this:
-Include a conffile file in /usr/lib/menu/$package.
The name of the file should be $package, with $package the
package name of the binary package the menufile will be distributed
in. (in the case of single source packages that build many binary packages).
This file should contain, for each programme it likes to make
available in a menu:
?package(gnuplot):\ specifies what packages need to be installed
needs=text\ what kind of terminal this command expects
\ needs=X11: if this programme only runs on X11
needs=text:if it only runs on text terminals;
(the window manager should spawn
an xterm or rxvt in this case)
needs=vc :runs only at Linux console.
needs=wm :this starts another windowmanager
section=Apps/Math\ in what section should this menuentry be
title="Gnuplot"\ The tile of the menuentry (make it short please)
command="/usr/bin/gnuplot" the command to run.
A programme like gnuplot should NOT have an extra entry for
needs=X11 because it will then be next to impossible to configure the
window mangers to spawn rxvt instead of the default xterm.
If, on the other hand, if a programme can both run like a real
X application, and on a terminal (like emacs), then two
entries should be listed (otherwise, emacs will also be run in
an xterm).
-In your postinst and postrm script, add a line like:
if test -x /usr/bin/update-menus; then update-menus; fi
-Do not make your package depend on the menu package.

This menu is genereated specifically by each windowmanager,
to provide specific wm related functions (restart, etc.) :
- Session...

- Restart session
- Exit session
************************
* What should each menu-manager (fvwm*, twm, pdmenu, ...) do?
Provide a configfile-script in /etc/menu-methods that can read
the menu-files. This script will be executed by update-menus
with the to be installed menu-entries passed to the script via
stdin.
The scripts in /etc/menu-methods should be configfiles, if the user
can tune the behaviour in the script (as is the case in the scripts
provided in this package in /usr/doc/menu/examples/$wm).
Run update-menus (if it exists) in the postinst, and remove the
execute bit from the /etc/menu-methods in the postrm when called
with remove.
Example bash post{rm,inst} script:
#postrm:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
inst=/etc/menu-methods/twm #or fvwm, ... whatever manager you're installing
case "$1" in
remove)
chmod a-x $inst
;;
purge)
#remove the files that install-fvwmgenmenu creates:
rm /etc/X11/twm/{system.twmrc,menus.dat,menudefs.hook}
#maybe also rm $inst, if dpkg doesn't do that itself.
;;
upgrade);;
*)
echo "postrm called with unknown argument \`$1'" >&2
exit 0
;;
esac
#postinst:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
inst=/etc/menu-methods/pdmenu #or fvwm, ... whatever manager you're installing
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus ] ; then
if [ -f $inst ]; then
chmod a+x $inst
update-menus;
fi
fi
The menu package should not include any installer scripts for
window managers (that's the job of the packages that install the
window managers), but I do provide scripts for nearly all
debian window managers in /usr/doc/menu/examples. See the readme
on how to activate them. For an example, see the latest fvwm95 package
(or olvwm).
************************
* What does update-menus do?
On startup, update-menus does:
check file /var/run/update-menus.pid, and the pid in it -- if
there's an update-menus process with that pid, kill it.
if /var/lib/dpkg/lock exists,
fork to background, and return control to dpkg.
in background process:
Every approx second check for /var/lib/dpkg/lock
repeat until it's gone.
when the lockfile has disappeared (or never has been), start
the "normal" update-menus:
1 sets a variable $dirs to
dirs="/etc/menu /usr/lib/menu /usr/lib/menu/default"
(and if a user runs runs it, it will add ~/.menu to the front
of that list)
2 it reads the list of installed packages.
3 for d in $dirs; do
- read files in $d
- check if corresponding package is installed, and, is listed
in the $d/.updated-menus file, checking the mod time in
$d/.updated-menus.
Depending on that information, either put the menufile $file in the
the install-menu-list, or the menuentry in the $remove-entries,
and do put the entries in the already-correctly-installed-list
4 after going through all dirs, do
for method in `ls /etc/menu-methods`; do
$cat install-menu-list | method -f --stdin
done
Ad step 3+4
- The $d/.updated-menus file lists not only the files in that directory
and it's mod-time (to check for changes), it also lists
the known menu-managers (i.e., the output of `ls /etc/menu-methods`)
at the time of the last installation. Based on this information,
steps 3+4 are changed a bit, to update/remove new/old menu-managers.
Ad step 1+2+3+4
although I've used a sh-like syntax here, it's written in C++.
Ad step 4
Here there's a hack for backwards compatibility with the old
install-fvwmgenmenu: if the script in /etc/menu-methods doesn't
start with "#!/usr/sbin/install-menu", the old dataformat will be sent
to the script.
************************
* The /usr/sbin/install-menu programme
The files /etc/menu-methods/fvwm* are "executable" config files
that begin with
#!/usr/sbin/install-menu
and thus start that programme, handing it the configuration file for the
specific wm in argv[1]. This configuration consists of:
- the compatibility mode ("menu-1").
- where the various files should be stored/read.
- what "needs" are supported, and what wrapper files should
be used for each "type".
See /usr/doc/menu/examples/ for some more comments.
Options to install-fvwmgenmenu:
-v be verbose
-d Produce loads of debugging output
The -f and --stdin "options" exist because old versions used to
have cache files and other complicated stuff. This didn't result
in any speedups, and did complicate stuff. So we (Joey and I) decided
to make -f and --stdin options that are always on (and can thus be
ignored).
Some window managers don't support the m4 or cpp
preprocessing, and cannot read the menudefs.hook file
from their system.*rc configfile. To still be able to use them,
install-fvwmgenmenu will copy the file $path/$examplercfile to
$path/$rcfile (with $path, $examplercfile and $rcfile defined
in the install-fvwmgenmenu config file), and replace all
occurrences of "install-menu-defs" with the $genmenu
file it just generated. Although this approach looks quite
clumsy, it does allow for one $path/$examplercfile on the system,
(The m4/cpp approach puts a "include(/etc/X11/*/menudefs.hook)"
in the system.*rc file, so users will never load their menudefs.hook
file).
To activate the file-copying in this way, simply define
the $examplercfile and $rcfile variables in the install-fvwmgenmenu
configuration file (/etc/menu-methods/fvwm*), and make sure
there is a $path/$examplercfile ($path being either $rootprefix, or
$userprefix)
If you are wringing a menu-method, you can use the following to
debug it somewhat easier:
- use the "cat" menu-method in /usr/doc/menu/examples/cat to
create a list of menuentries in /tmp/menu-stdin
(put it in ~/.menu-methods, and run update-menus), and then
- you can run just your menu-method with (if it's called wm):
./wm -v < /tmp/menu-stdin
(-v for verbose, use -d for debugging, you'll get loads of output).
************************
* install-menu config script definitions:
*
the menu-methods in /etc/menu-methods/* are basically made up of
a lot of section=string definitions, explaining install-menu
how to generate a "system.$wmrc" script. This way you can tune
the look of generated "system.$wmrc" to your needs.
In the following, something like
treewalk="c(m)"
means that the treewalk variable by default has the value "c(m)".
For examples of what these scripts can look like, see /usr/doc/menu/examples.
compat="menu-1"
Should always be "menu-1".
Please, make this the first non-comment line in the script.
supported
endsupported
Between the supported and endsupported keywords you define what
"needs" are supported by this window manager. So, the following
is for a wm that supports both needs=x11 and needs=text:
Example:
supported
x11=" ShowEntry("title=\"" $title "\", command=\"" $command "\"")
text=" ShowEntry("title=\"" $title "\", command=\""\
"xterm -T " $title " -e " $command "\"")
endsupported
For the variable substitution (and functions, not shown above),
see the next paragraph.
In the above example, you'll notice that for the menuentries that
"need=text", an xterm is spawned for the command to run in.
Also, as x11 is higher up in the supported list than text, a package that
supplies both a "needs=x11" and a "needs=text" entry will have the
needs=x11 entry installed, in favour of the needs=text entry.
You can continue lines on the next line with a \, but do make sure
you don't add any spaces after the \.
startmenu=""
endmenu=""
submenutitle=""
These define what to print for the beginning/end of a menu, and
how to the print a menuentry that pops up another menuentry.
They are substituted the same way as the "supported" stuff is
(see next paragraph).
treewalk="c(m)"
This string defines in what order to dump the $startmenu, $endmenu,
and $submenutitle (and it's children). Each char in the string
refers to :
c : dump children of menu.
m : dump this menu's $submenutitles
( : dump $startmenu
) : dump $endmenu
M : dump all $submenutitles of this menu and this menu's children.
The default is "c(m)". For olvwm, one needs: "(M)"
genmenu=""
The menufile to generate (usually something like system."$wm"rc).
The file itself may depend on the level or title that is currently
being work on, like
genmenu="/subdir/" replacewith($section," ","_") "/rc.menu"
(Substitution works just like the supported stuff, see above).
Note that the files made this way are truncated upon
opening, so if you have a genmenu like the example above, then
your endmenu= will override the startmenu stuff (but you probably
only need one of the two anyway).
rootsection="/Debian"
the prefix every $section variable gets.
prerun=""
postrun=""
The commands to run before resp. after the actual generation of the
menudefs.hook (genmenu) file. Commands will be executed by sh.
example:
prerun="rm -rf " prefix() "/*"
postrun="killall -USR1 fvwm2"
(Substitution works just like the supported stuff, see above).
preoutput="#Automatically generated file. Do not edit (see /usr/doc/menu/html)\n\n"
postoutput=""
Text to put at the beginning resp. end of the generated file ($genmenu).
command=""
A command to run instead of install-menus. This command will receive
the menuentries install-menus would have received on stdin.
hotkeyexclude=""
Keys not to use for hotkey generation. You can use the same
variables and functions here as in for example the startmenu
sections.
Example:
hotkeyexclude="q" $section
hotkeycase="insensitive"
can be either "insensitive" or "sensitive". Determines
whether the hotkeys can be of mixed case (fvwm2 reads
the hotkeys case-insensitive, pdmenu case-sensitive).
In case of the titles "Xa" and "xb", hotkey will generate
"X" and "b", whereas sensitive would generate "X" and "x"
rcfile=""
If the window manager doesn't support an "include filename" or
"read(filename)" statement in it's config file, you can rename
the wm's config file to system."$wm"rc-menu, and insert
a "install-menu-defs" line (without the quotes, or whitespace around
it, and "install-menu-defs" must be the only thing on the line)
in the system."$wm"rc-menu file. This will then get replaced
by the $genmenu file that was just created (see also $examplercfile).
examplercfile=""
if needed (see rcfile), this is the system.rc"$wm"-menu file.
In that case, make rcfile=system.rc"$wm".
rootprefix=""
The prefix to use when running as root (applies to $genmenu, $rcfile,
$examplercfile and other old cache files)
userprefix=""
see rootprefix, but when running as user.
************************
* variables and functions in the install-menu scripts.
The supported "needs" definitions and "startmenu=", "endmenu="
and "submenutitle=" are interpreted as follows:
**
String constants:
Anything matching with \"[^\"]*\" is interpreted as a string, and
is written verbatim to the output file.
Stuff like \n, \t, ... will be substituted for their C expansions
(But not \0xx).
**
Variables:
Anything matching $[a-z,A-Z,_]* is interpreted as a variable, and
the corresponding definition from the menuentry is substituted. So,
for a menuentry.
Special variables:
The following variables are treated in a special way by install-menus,
either because they are used for other purposes too, or because they
are modified by install-menus (the ones with a "!" are modified
by install-menus).
needs: used to determine whether the window manager supports this
menuentry.
command: If this is undefined, this menuentry is taken as defining
a submenu. (this way you can specify icons of submenus).
title!: Used for sorting (see section).
For submenuentries (those with empty command), this
is initialised to the last part of the section.
Please, keep the title short (two words at maximum).
The title is for people who already know what programme
they want to start. See "longtitle" and "description" below
for longer descriptions.
sort: used for sorting (see section).
section!:Used to determine the section of the menuentry.
The menuentries that have a empty $command, have their
$section changed to modify the current level.
The menuentries that have a non-empty $command have their
$section modified to $section/$title, or $section/$sort:$title
if $sort is defined. The menuentries within one section
are sorted according to $section.
hotkey!: Modified to reflect what install-menus thinks is the
most suitable hotkey for this menuentry. The hotkey=
in the menuentry file is taken as a suggestion, that could
be overwritten if there is another entry with the same hotkey=.
To suggest two possible hotkeys for an entry use
hotkey="ab", with "a" being the most preferred hotkey.
Suggested variables:
The following aren't special for install-menus, but it's nice
(read: essential) to use the same variables for the same things.
So, I'll suggest some here. If you want to invent new ones, please
do so and mail them to me so that I can include them here.
icon: The location of the iconfile for this menuentry.
If you don't have an iconfile, just leave out the icon=
in the menuentry.
longtitle: For people that like descriptive titles (about one line)
It is probably best to include this in your menuentries,
while the window-managers don't (by default) put it in the
menus. That way, people who want descriptive titles can
turn them on, but others don't need to use them.
description:An even longer description (about 5 lines).
For example, a description of the documentation in
the dwww generated html pages.
**
Functions:
Anything matching [a-z,A-Z,_] is taken as a function (and an error
is generated if the function doesn't exist). The arguments of the
functions can be other functions, string constants or variables.
prefix()
returns the current prefix dir: either $rootprefix, or
$HOME/$userprefix, depending on who runs install-menu
ifroot($rootarg, $userarg)
if(getuid()==0) print $rootarg, else print $userarg
print($arg)
Same as just $arg; if $arg is empty, generate an error.
esc($arg1,$arg2)
Print $arg1, but escape all occurrences of characters in $arg2
with a \. (thus, if arg1="hello", arg2="lo", print "he\l\l\o").
escwith($arg1, $arg2, $arg3)
Same as esc, but use $arg3 as escape sequence.
escfirst($arg1, $arg2, $arg3)
Same as escwith, but only escapes thirst occurrence of $arg2.
tolower($arg)
toupper($arg)
Returns the argument set in lowercases resp uppercases.
replacewith($s, $replace, $with)
Search s for occurrences of characters from string replace, and
replace them by the corresponding character in $with.
Example:
replacewith_string("hello $world, %dir", "$% ", "123")
returns: "hello31world,32dir"
ifempty($arg1, $arg2)
If $arg1 is empty, print $arg2, otherwise print nothing.
For compatibility, the string "none" is seen as empty.
ifnempty($arg1, $arg2)
If $arg1 is not empty, print $arg2.
For compatibility, the string "none" is seen as empty.
ifelse($arg1,$arg2)
If $arg1 is non-empty, print $arg1, otherwise $arg2.
For compatibility, the string "none" is seen as empty.
ifeq($arg1, $arg2, $arg3)
If ($arg1==$arg2) then print $arg3
ifneq($arg1, $arg2, $arg3)
If ($arg1!=$arg2) then print $arg3
ifeqelse($arg1, $arg2, $arg3, $arg4)
If ($arg1==$arg2) then print $arg3 else print $arg4
cond_surr($arg1, $arg2, $arg3)
If $arg1 is non-empty print $arg2$arg1$arg3, otherwise print nothing.
For compatibility, $arg1="none" is interpreted as empty.
iffile($arg1, $arg2)
If file $arg1 exists, and can be opened for reading by whoever
started the current process, return $arg2, otherwise return nothing.
parent($arg)
for arg a "directory", return parent directory:
parent("/Debian/Apps/Editors") = "/Debian/Apps".
basename($arg)
return the last part of the parent directory:
basename("/Debian/Apps/Editors") = "Apps".
**
String constants, variables and functions can be concatenated
by placing them after each other with a space in between, like
"hello" $ifelse($comma, $comma, "sorry" $period " no comma def") " world"
**
User-defined functions (or rather, macros):
You can define your own function, by typing (outside "supported" scope):
function myfunc($var1, $var2) = "this is my function, var1=" $var1 ", title= "$title
Note that this example uses a variable "title" that it expects to be defined.
This is true if it is called from the "startmenu", "endmenu", "submenutitle",
a supported definition.
************************
* Icons
*
Please, make sure the icons you specify are always available on the system.
So, if you want to have an icon with your menuentry, the preferred method
is to supply the icon with that package. Also, to prevent the distribution
of icons files to turn too much into a mess, please put all icon
files in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/{bitmap,pixmap}.
Debian package maintainers should ensure that any icons they include that
are used with the debian menus conform to the following:
1. They should be in xpm format.
2. They may be no larger than 32x32 pixels, although smaller sizes are ok.
3. They should use only the 24 colors present in cmap.xpm, which comes with
this package.
4. The background area of the icon should be transparent, if possible.
If you have Imagemagick installed, you can make your icons meet requirements
1, 2, and 3 with the following command, but you will need to edit the icon
afterward to clean it up and make the background transparent:
# mogrify -format xpm -geometry 32x32 -map cmap.xpm <filenames>
If you, as a system administrator, don't like the icons in the menu's, simply
remove the $%{icon} from the files in /etc/menu-methods/$wm, and
type "update-menus"
If you want to specify an icon for a submenu (for example, the Editors
submenu), just use the same syntax but leave the command empty:
X11 Apps menu/apps /usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmap/icon.xpm "Editors"
As there probably isn't one right package to include the submenu icons,
I guess (as Joey suggested) the menu package is the only right place
to have these menu's (Otherwise, problems arise when two packages
supply different icons for the same submenu, and we can never be sure
the icon files are available).
************************
* Taskbar/Titlebar (fvwm*)
*
The problem with the stuff in the taskbar is that all items are
displayed all of the time. So, if 200 debian packages all were to
register a button, the buttons would quickly fill the screen, making
the exercise useless. The few applications that are considered important
enough to be listed in the taskbar usually vary widely on each system,
making it impossible to select a ``happy few'' apps that are allowed
there on every debian system. If you want your fvwm2 to have a few
buttons, you can install files for those packages in /etc/menu/$package,
containing both the normal menu entries, and a line like
button Games/Puzzles xpuzzles/xmball path-to-pixmap.xpm "Xmball"
/usr/games/xmball
Then, do the following:
cd /etc/menu-methods/
cp fvwm2 fvwm2button
vi fvwm2button
#and remove all the "supported" entries, adding the one below. For the rest,
leave everything the same except those listed below.
supported
button="+ Style \"" $title "\" TitleIcon" $icon " Exec " $command "\n"
endsupported
startmenu: "AddToTitlebar \n"
endmenu: "\n"
submenutitle:""
mainmenu:
genmenu: "buttondefs.hook"
