Hi. Over the weekend, I wrote a script that converts WindowMaker themes to
Debian packages automatically. (the themes have to follow wm.t.o's packaging
policy). I think it would be useful for other Debian users but I don't really
know what to do with it. So, based on looking over Debian's mailing lists,
I'm mentioning it here. (would a different list have been more appropriate?)
The script can do a number of useful things, including converting .tar.gz
theme files to .deb packages, downloading themes from wm.t.o and then
converting them, and installing the packages. I think it may go against
Debian policy in that it drops all the themes into the section
wmaker-themes, but that should be easily fixed..lintian also tells me that
I need a Copyright file, unfortunately that's hard to guess from the package
file. (maybe I could try to extract it from the .lsm...)
Anyway, in the hope that it's useful, here it is.

PS - I just read the Weekly Newsletter and noticed discussion of distributing
WindowMaker, E, etc themes as Debian packages. I suppose that this is somewhat
relevant to that. Personally, I think that I'd rather preview the themes
on the Web page and then install them with the script but...

wmto2deb -- create Debian packages from wm.themes.org theme archives
Usage: wmto2deb [option] ... <theme.tar.gz> [--description <description> ...]
--email <address>
Specify the address to use as the package maintainer address
--name <address>
Specify the name to use as the package maintainer
--pkgver <version>
Specify the version number to give to the package
--no-infer-descr
If this is given, the script will not attempt to infer a description
for the package from the files in the theme archive
--install
Attempt to install the packages after building them.
--sudo
--su
--nogetperms
Determine how wmto2deb tries to become root to install a package. It
can use sudo, su, or not attempt to gain extra priviliges.
--verbose
Print lots of extra information
--quiet
Don't print much information
--version
Print the version number of this program
--help
Display this information
--license
Display license information
Package options:
These options control settings for individual packages.
--download <theme>
This is treated exactly as if a file were being named, except that
the theme is fetched from wm.themes.org rather than from the local
filesystem. Requires wget.
--description <description>
Specify the description to use for the package.
--pkgname <name>
Specify the name to give the package (in the Debian database)
--pkgfile <filename>
Specify the file to store the package in. ( - for stdout )
