Re: [gentoo-dev] Menu System

[Mario Andres Yepes C <marioy@logos.upb.edu.co>]

I think thats the basic idea... The thing would be that portage should provide 
a couple of functions to easy the process of adding an entry to the menu.

Somethink like

add_menu(){
    mkdir -p ${MENUDIR}
    cat >> ${MENUDIR}/${PN} << EOF
?package(${P}):  section="$2" icon="$3" title="$4" longtitle="$5" needs="$1" 
command="oo$1" $mimetypes_item 
EOF
}

So in an ebuild you could have...

add_menu Applications/Games amor.png "A waste of cpu" "Amor, a game" x11

Of course this is just a quick idea, I think that the function could be better 
implemented so the way to call it is more straight forward.

Regards
Mario
