Hi,
I suspect this code snippet found on wmaker's postinst is giving
users a headache:
inst="/etc/menu-methods/wmaker /etc/menu-methods/wmstyle"
[...]
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus -a /usr/sbin/install-menu ] ; then
for file in $inst ; do
if [ -f $file ] ; then
chmod a+x $file
fi
done
update-menus;
else
for file in $inst ; do
if [ -f $file ] ; then
chmod a-x $file
fi
done
fi
this is an hyper-paranoid test for the existance of a) menu; b) the files
being there. I got this idea from a debmake-generated postinst. Reading
menu's documentation (chapter 3), that's the recommended action. Now, WHY?
If menu is not installed, those files are not going to get run ever. If
menu is installed, it's ok. Now the problem: If the window manager is
installed and configured BEFORE menu is even installed, the files are not
going to get the excutable bit, and update-menus (when installed) will
ignore them. Am I missing something here?
I'm thinking of changing this to:
if [ -x /usr/bin/update-menus -a /usr/sbin/install-menu ] ; then
update-menus
fi
