Updated svn. Will be several hours before I can
provide a report.
In the mean time, I see the newest version of startkde.
I found a few spots where I updated some of the echo messages since I sent
you my last proposed copy. In these messages I added the "startkde: "
prefix. Those prefixes help people debug because they then know from where
the messages derive. Cosmetic only, but helpful.
I added two echo messages regarding XDG. Again, cosmetic but helpful.
Notes about the new startkde in svn.
I submitted a change that checked and created KDEROOTHOME. Have you seen
that change in my previous messages. Have you decided against that change
and incorporated the same checks in the base code? My ego is not at stake
:) --- I'm just checking to make sure.
No I did not see it; sorry. It is probably more appropriate to change the
kdelibs code anyway (which has been done).
There are two sections in the current svn startkde that repeat. Start at
line 139:
if [ -d /opt/kde3 ]; then
if [ -n "$KDEDIRS" ]; then
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/opt/kde3/:/usr/
else
export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3/:/usr/
fi
fi
if [ -d /opt/kde3 ]; then
if [ -n "$KDEDIRS" ]; then
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/opt/kde3/:/usr/
else
export KDEDIRS=/opt/kde3/:/usr/
fi
fi
In my proposed script the second snippet reads:
if [ -d /opt/trinity ]; then
if [ -n "$KDEDIRS" ]; then
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/opt/trinity/:/usr/
else
export KDEDIRS=/opt/trinity/:/usr/
fi
fi
I don't know whether you want my snippet or meant to delete the second
repeating snippet in the current startkde.
New proposed startkde attached.
