Package: bootcd

Severity: normal

It seems that since Debian Squeeze, LXDE depends on writing to ~/.cache
directory to completely populate the LXDE menu.
debian-squeeze:~# ls -al .cache/menus/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2011-02-25 15:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2011-02-11 14:23 ..

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2396 2011-02-14 14:17 733773b31cfad39c82ddca9f6bff4758
The .cache directory was not present in Debian Lenny and hence this proplem
did not occur on it.
Solution is to exclude .cache directory in $NOT_TO_RAM variable in
bootcdwrite.conf file. I am attaching the following patch to fix this:

Closes: 615903
Changes:
bootcd (3.24) unstable; urgency=low
.
* bootcd-i386 now recommends bootcd-mkinitramfs, because it almost always
needed
* Added Configuration for LXDE, which depends on writing to ~/.cache
since Debian Squeeze, in bootcdwrite.conf as suggested by
Kushal Koolwal <[email protected]>. Closes: #615903
* changed "function extra_changes()" to "extra_changes()" in comments of
bootcdwrite.conf because of bashism
* Make sure we do not copy /dev/.udev/
