Re: [Cooker] Helix-gnome in cooker/mandrake
Well the goal is great, but if I got you right you are talking about harrasing the Helix people until they give up. I don't like that plan... Instead we should contact them and offer our help in converting the packages to use the new menusystem. I assume that Helix are not refusing to do this just to piss us off, but for the lack of time and resources. //Snaggen, don't know anything about RPM's but still willing to help At 11 September, 2000 John Grange wrote: Dear list , after reading a post earlier today i have an idea! , we are a big group here now on this list, and i'm sure there are more than a few of us who would like the mandrake helix gnome packages to be compleetly compatible with mandrake 7.1+ menu system.

Have you laid out a plan about doing this ? At a glance this seems like an easy task, when in all actuality it's far from that. It's mostly the hacks that mdk does to gnome that breaks the compliance with vanilla helix-gnome. menus , default pixmaps dir(which will fubar your desktop icons hence the need to remove your ~/.gnome/metadata.db) , the all in all default settings , etc... So, what to do. : ) -- Bryan Paxton Public key can be found at http://speedbros.org/bryan.paxton.asc
