Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] packaging hooks

I never viewed it that way. But your are absolutely right and I agree to
move in that direction.  I wrote(hacked together) two hooks, one for lxdm
and the other for lxlauncher. So i will move on to packaging. Thanks for the
encouragement Jonathan.

 event that you write a hook for a package that you can not *upload*

 package missing a hook. Then add the hook as a patch (or a merge
 proposal)...

 OR do i just send the hook to say gilir or jmarsden for packaging into
 the appropriate package? Cheers

 You left out another important possibility: open the bug as Brian Murray
 suggested, then attach the hook to it, and *then* package the
 application to include your new hook, and attach the debdiff to the bug
 report.

 This could be a very good way to practice your own packaging skills :)

 Once that is done, you can of course ask gilir (or jmarsden!) to look at
 your work, suggest improvements, etc. gilir can do even more and
 actually approve your newly improved package, of course :)

Please report a bug and subscribe me to the bug report, I'll have a look
at it.
