[Gambas-user] Newbies Package Creation Problem

[Alberto Torres]

With this you can get a hint about how menu works in debian:

dithi at ...612...:~$ cat /usr/lib/menu/kpaint
?package(kpaint):\
        needs="X11"\
        section="Apps/Graphics"\
        hints="KDE"\
        title="kpaint"\
        command="/usr/bin/kpaint"
dithi at ...612...:~$ cat /usr/lib/menu/koules
?package(koules): \
   needs=X11 \
   section="Games/Arcade" \
   title="XKoules" \
   icon="/usr/X11R6/include/X11/pixmaps/koules-icon.xpm" \
   longtitle="Space action game for X11" \
   description="XKoules is a somewhat abstract space action game for X11 
with sound. \
                Supports multiplayer deathmatch and cooperative play." \
   command="/usr/games/xkoules"


 From update-menus manpage: "update-menus will be ran automatically when 
Debian packages that contain menu files are installed or removed from 
the system."
