@ screenshots: there where a number of newer ones on the site, too. I
remember that some of my FreeBSD box where there, too, as TDE does quite
nicely on FreeBSD these days. Don't know when they vanished, where and why. This seems too easy.

the files that we use to define what's in mx-packageinstaller->popular
apps are XML files. there are even places for screenshots, pre and post
install scripts if extra steps are needed, like adding repos.

I found 4 examples with external repositories

To me ‘spotify_64.pm’ seems the closest match to what I believe we’d
want. ‘airvpn.pm’ is the most complex, probably good for
example/reference. In any event I copy/pasted/edited what I could
(attached as tde_64.pm). Which probably needs to go into the TDE git
somewhere.
Things that definitely need checking:
- <installable> architecture(s) (I picked 64, not completely sure
that’s correct).
- method/place for # Import GPG signing key. (needs review by MX dev).
- when to use sudo and when it’s not needed (got no real clue why some
commands use it).
- <description> needs an official English description and then as many
translations as we can do.
We also need a TDE developer to interface with dolphin_oracle directly
for the ‘official’ request to add it to their system.
Anything else I can help with let me know,
Michael
- Updated .pm per dolphin_oracle comments.
- Could use newer screenshot(s) posted to:
- - https://www.trinitydesktop.org/screenshots.php
- - All those are from 2014.
- - If at all possible do one similar to
https://www.trinitydesktop.org/media/screenshots/large/tde1.png so that
it includes the full, visible, "The Trinity Desktop is a full software
desktop..." paragraph. (but possibly I don’t understand the use of that
screenshot, so maybe not?)
- .pm should be renamed to tde.pm if TDE is all architecture.

you don't need sudo anywhere. the script runs elevated already.
if your packages are 64bit only, the 64 is appropriate. If you also have
32 bit packages, then "all" is appropriate.
you will want to run an apt-get update in the post-uninstall area since
you are removing a list. typically I don't remove list files unless there
is a chance of some conflict, in which case they should not be left
enabled at all. (deb-multimedia is an example here, good packages, but
leaving the repo enabled is bad for mx).
for the key, download into /tmp instead of /root. remove the temporary
downloaded deb after install.
we prefer the deb-src entries to be commented out by default. our
debian.list file is a good example.
