Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener
 
OK, I'm just a little unsure on how to apply this; I should edit /usr/share/applications/hildon/debwm.desktop and change the
Code:

Exec=/usr/bin/debwm IceWM xpice
to use hostwin, but xpice can't stay the same, because it doesn't chroot...
I need to write a script that does
Code:

sudo debian xpice
and have hostwin call that script, I think.

Is that all?

edit /usr/bin/debwm and change the line that says

openhostwin.py $1 &

to use your hostwin $1 &

i think...

If you can't wait for the 'Bundyo Build' ;), put this in your .desktop file:

Code:

Exec=/usr/bin/hostwin IceWM 'sudo debian xpice'

Bundyo, could your "hostwin" app be GPL? If so, could I have the source, so I can include it in my package? I'm trying to assemble a package that can be uploaded to Extras.

Yeah, but it doesn't have a Makefile :)

Anyway, Jaffa's mud-builder should support Vala builds, so you can actually build your whole deb from waf (not sure if he supports it) - i can give you a newer wscript for it which can autocreate a deb.

P.S. I never tried it though, but i'll have to very soon. Tear approaches 0.2...

...getting closer and closer to just calling my package "non-free" even though it is composed entirely of free components...

(no idea what you're talking about with Vala, etc)

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener
 
Yes, that's the easy way out :)

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener
 
The great thing about having it built from source, though, is that when each upgrade comes out (e.g. Maemo 4.2), it should simply be remade automatically from source for any new dependencies. It does look like a major headache for this sort of project, but it's not hopeless. :)

(Ulterior motive: Tried twice, and I still haven't been able to build hostwin; hopefully when you've got it capable of going through the autobuilder, I'll be able to see what I'm doing wrong. :p See, I had an evil scheme to swallow rdesktop in a scrollbar-augmented hostwin mutant, and not being able to build a purebred hostwin really interferes with that.)

Qole, some time before i posted the source for Benson, probably you didn't see it:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...&postcount=122
(Removed the X.VAPI dependencies, included the file anyway)

If you want a WAF that can build a deb for it, just tell me.

Re: WANTED: Tiny window-opener
 
I just want to upload my easy debian package to the extras repository. It is turning out to be very difficult. Any help would be appreciated.
