Good news - it seems that Ximian is considering supporting the Mandrake menu system :) Michel ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.co.uk address at http://mail.yahoo.co.uk or your free @yahoo.ie address at http://mail.yahoo.ie
In my opinion, the real issue preventing our better support of Mandrake in the past is that we didn't have any Mandrake enthusiasts on staff. We hired one a few months back, and he spends as much time as we'll let him making Ximian GNOME work better on Mandrake. I'll make a note of this particular flaw and see to it that the existing packages get fixed in time. -Mark Gordon On Fri, Mar 09, 2001 at 12:11:48AM +0000, Michèl Alexandre Salim wrote: > --- Mark Gordon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There > are a couple things lacking in our current > > Mandrake 7 packages > > that prevent their working properly on Mandrake 7.2. > > This might just be me being fussy about what is > 'proper' but Ximian packages in the past (when they > are Helix packages) did not integrate well with > Mandrake's menu system (lifted from Debian, but > integrated much more cohesively). > > Since supporting this menuing system can be done with > just the addition of one descriptor file per menu > entry - menudrake automatically removes the old-style > menu entries when it regenerates the menu - what is > the *real* issues against supporting it?
