Hi all, Trying to give a status report on everything Edubuntu I've been doing/concerned with.
First, I dropped rasmol from the ship-addon seed as it's just too old and is not very user friendly. I would prefer to get something modern and active like gnome-chemistry-utils or gchemical in it's place. Do we have an idea of size limitations for the new .iso scheme? I'm assuming there's plenty of room, but are we planning on adding any large apps? Secondly, I'm working on the squeak packages. It's not going to be trivial since the packages are named differently. My plan is going to be to file for removal of the current packages and then upload the new ones before Feature Freeze. The sticky point is going to be how to handle upgrades. The packages are just completely different. The image storage location is different, the start scripts are different, etc. I can't really see any sane way of providing for a smooth upgrade. Is there some way we can just "start clean"? Finally, I'm uploading now a new version of edubuntu-menus that should work again and not cause problems. Previously, the edubuntu-menus Xsession.d script set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS to /usr/share/edubuntu-menus/, basically diverting the menu reading there. The nasty side effect was that the system XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, /etc/xdg/ *also* contains stuff other than menus, such as autostart scripts. What I've changed is to set XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/usr/share/edubuntu-menus/:/etc/xdg/. However, we are still missing a GUI for editing the menus. alacarte by itself won't work quite right as our menuing is a bit funky. So should we right a wrapper GUI to call alacarte and clean up after it? -Jordan -- edubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
