Frugalware Utilities.

Status

This package contains several menu-driven utilities to make the post-install configuration of a Frugalware system easier.

The following components are available at the moment:

• grubconfig

• mouseconfig

• netconfig

• raidconfig

• timeconfig

• xwmconfig

All of these can be listed and started from the central setup command.

Requirements

• To use this utilities, you need:

  • GLib >= 2.0

  • ncurses

  • libparted

  • libpacman

  • libudev

• To build them, you need libdialog.

• Optional dependencies:

  • asciidoc for user documentation

  • po4a for localized user documentation

  • doxygen for API documentation

How to set it up

If you got the sources from git

First, you need to do a make prepare first.

Second, if you want to get the translations from git as well, then you need to:

$ git clone git://git.frugalware.org/pub/other/translations

You are expected to do this in $HOME/git, but you can overwrite this path using the PO_DIR make variable.

The usual part

You probably want to use these utilities before /usr is available, so the recommended commandline switches are:

$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sbindir=/sbin --libdir=/lib \
	--libexecdir=/usr/libexec
$ make
# make install

What needs to be done (aka. TODO)

• Let netconfig start/stop more verbose (maybe some initscript-like OK/FAILED?)

I would like to have support for …​

If something does not work, then please report the issue to the bug tracking system.
