Advertise ourselves to the Mac4Lin project #8

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The Mac 4 Lin project aims to provide a complete tutorial to make GNOME
look like MacOS. They provide tar files with all the themes as well as some
packages for Ubuntu.
Once GlobalMenu is in a usable test (that is : a simple way to uninstall),
we should ping them so as to have it included.

It will provide us with valuable feedback and it will provide publicity to
the project.

Yes! But I think there are still some issues.

Uninstalling will be easier if we use a different deb package name for 
gtk2-aqd. Then
the user can remove gtk2-aqd and install gtk2 at same time for a clean 
uninstall.

RPM provides a mechanics to claim that a package provides some functionality. I 
think
DEB should also have such.

So in my spec file for RPM, I wrote some lines like:
Package: gtk2-aqd
Provides: gtk2
Obsoletes: gtk2

Provides: gtk2-devel
Obsoletes: gtk2-devel

Then installing the rpm will automatically removes gtk2 when installing 
gtk2-aqd.
Since gtk2-aqd provides gtk2, all the dependencies are satisfied.

And when uninstalling the user needs to choose install gtk2 and remove gtk2-aqd 
in
the same transaction. Then because gtk2 provides gtk2, all the dependencies are 
also
satisfied.

I just told inra_red_dude about it in a PM, clearly stating that it was on an 
alpha
state. We thanked me for the tip and said we would keep an eye on dvpt.

As a member of the Mac4Lin dev team I can tell you that we're definitely aware 
of it.
The docs for Mac4Lin 1.0 will tell people about the PPA for ease in installing 
along
with a link here for users of other GTK-based OSes.

Will close it at the 1.0 release. :-)
Another thing would be to check that it's compatible (in terms of skins for 
instance)
with the latest revisions

I'm running both Mac4Lin 1.0RC1 and GlobalMenu, so I'm definitely keeping my 
eye out
for buglets.

It would be more complete for Mac-Lin purposes if it didnt start up showing its 
title
as "Global Menu" but as "Desktop"
