[debian] RFH to create a usable illume setup

2009-01-10 Thread Nikita V. Youshchenko
Hi

I've put together a set of armel debian packages, including latest Albin's 
e17 package with illume included. See 
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/smartphones-userland/2009-January/000877.html

Yes, illume may be started on Debian now.
No, it is not usable yet.

Attempt to start it (by putting 'exec enlightenment_start' into 
~/.xsession) shows lots of issues:
- font is tiny; attempt to enlarge it from setting dialog does not change 
font in illume's title bar;
- no applicatrion icons - can't start anything;
- no keyboard.

I'm seaching for helo from people familiar with illume on how to configure 
it properly. Given information is found, I will probably be able to build 
a ready-for-users package.

Nikita

Thanks for taking care of that.

Note that although we currently have e17 in your (or pkg-fso’s)
repository, you should plan your modifications outside that package, as
we later want to be able to use the normal Debian package. I don’t know
anything about e17, but it should ideally be a separate package, or a
default configuration file installed by our installer into /root/.e*.

Greetings,
Joachim

Let's first find out what and how should be configured.

Perhaps there could be better ways - such as making Debian's default e17 to 
run some hooks (maybe provided by a separate package) to create an initial 
configuration when illume is chosen.
Or to automatically display icons for installed debian apps (perhaps by 
providing proper hook for debian menu system).
