Re: [Notion-general] debian menu

[Wojciech A. <ani...@da...>]

Yes I do have that package. You see, depreceated or not, if other WMs can acces
this info (or, for that matter, programs such as 'pdmenu') then why not Notion.
It's more about the failed Notion functionality than menu itself. Which brings
me back to the issue: in cfg_notioncore.lua I see something like:

404 -- Auto-generated Debian menu definitions
405 if os and os.execute("test -x /usr/bin/update-menus") == 0 then
406     if notioncore.is_i18n() then
407         dopath("debian-menu-i18n")
408     else
409         dopath("debian-menu")
410     end
411 end

and I don't think the 'debian-menu' module even exists. I'm not sure if it was built,
as I'm using a snapshot, perhaps I should enable it somewhere at build time.

regards
