Package: menu Version: 2.1.33 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
Given how the XDG format is derivated from Debian's own menu and has become standard accross the board on a wide variety of desktop environments and window managers, migrating Debian's menu system to XDG would be extremely desirable. For one thing, this would save maintainers of applications packages lot of work in creating menu entries and in patching upstream WM code to support Debian's own menu system. Once the transition is done, they would be leveraging the existing XDG menu entry that is included in upstream packages. Likewise, migrating every WM's menu support to XDG can be readily accomplished by borrowing code from a plethora of possible sources, such as GNOME and KDE. Heck, many other window managers can already support the XDG standard out of the box. Granted, the transition period will make a few teeth grind, but we only need to do this once. Afterwards, we will only be supporting the standard. - -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i586) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-lx (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages menu depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.25 package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 menu recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGhXTWeXr56x4Muc0RArA4AJ9bBCd5dyYYQpZmZ33u3vMn2cQq7wCdHF1S PHXOh+KTaghhSFk2bOygGJw= =Szkl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
