Actually I am not yet convinced it cannot be done with the current translation stuff, but... (Maybe you've thought about it more than I have, though). > There are other isssues.

That should be not too dificult. One package `debian-rating' could include a menu file, that has the violense and X-ratings of the various menu entries in them. One note of warning: I don't think the menu-code this will use is very much tested yet. But at least the infra structure is there. $ dpkg -L debian-rating #or dpkg -L debian-jr, or whatever [...] /usr/lib/menu/debianrating [...] $ cat /usr/lib/menu/debianrating [...] ?package(doom):\ needs="x11"\ section="Apps/Games/???"\ title="Doom"\ v-rating="9"\ x-rating="1" ?package(fulfrontalnudes):\ needs="x11"\ section="Apps/Graphics/Pictures"\ title="ffn"\ v-rating="0"\ x-rating="9" $ grep rating /etc/menu-methods/menu.h max_x_rating=10 max_v_rating=2 And the appropriate changes in /etc/menu-methods/* (the wm's should refuse to install an entry if eighter the x- or v-rating is too high), that should do it. (the above would be approrpiate for my box, maybe not for the average debian-jr box) > The goal is to change as little of debian as possible.

I'd love to help, and hope to respond to emails quicker in the future. > There is a debian-jr list at lists.debian.org now. I'd prefer not to join just now -- too much mail already. However, I will join whenever there would be a neeed for that. CC-ed this message to the list, though. Thanks, -- joostje
