Jerry, I have updated few scripts within litesoftware. I will be pushing them to master later tonight.

Enable Auto Login










Create System Report







I have updated the postinst file to set correct permissions on the files I've worked on so far and then some.

Merged. I do like all the touches you've added here Ralphy, much appreciated. Will test in the coming days.

What technique did you use to optimize the images for the Help Manual?

[valtam]

Some initial feedback (32bit 3.2 test only so far).

- Install new package from terminal:



- After install of new Lite Software pkg, Lite Software and Create System Report lost their alphabetical placement in Menu, System.

System Menu before:



System Menu after:



perhaps because the original .desktop names were: createsysreport.desktop and litesoftware.desktop

- The explanation is great, but prefer a more concise explanation on the Auto Login dialogue.

Love the work on this to date.

Confirmed, renaming the .desktop files to the original names fixed the Menu order:

Code:

root@jerry-VirtualBox:/usr/share/applications# mv sysreport.desktop createsysreport.desktop
root@jerry-VirtualBox:/usr/share/applications# mv lite-software.desktop litesoftware.desktop

Some initial feedback (32bit 3.2 test only so far).

- Install new package from terminal:

We have to find which statement in the script is causing the error in postinst. To me, it is either the Virtual Box fix (less likely) or the last statements about deleting the old files

[ -e /usr/share/applications/litesoftware.desktop ] && rm -f /usr/share/applications/litesoftware.desktop

While the above does work, sh may be expecting something like:

Code:

if [ -f /usr/share/applications/litesoftware.desktop ]; then
rm -f /usr/share/applications/litesoftware.desktop
else
:
fi

- After install of new Lite Software pkg, Lite Software and Create System Report lost their alphabetical placement in Menu, System.

As you already confirmed, the name update (rename) is what caused them to show up in a different order in the menu). I'm trying to bring together these files and their names. Now you have to decide whether we can keep the renamed files for good, or keep all these different names because they affect the Menu order?

- The explanation is great, but prefer a more concise explanation on the Auto Login dialogue.

Suggestions are always welcome :)

Love the work on this to date.

I appreciate it. It does take a lot of testing and rethinking to provide the polishing. Specially because I do not want to deviate from what's already there.

What technique did you use to optimize the images for the Help Manual?

ImageOptim https://github.com/ImageOptim/ImageOptim

All default settings with Extra compression and PNGOut disabled.

I'm not expecting a completely polished distro at this stage in our history. We are 'young' in the distro world. I've said in the past that we'll be hitting our stride in Series 5.x everything should come together by that stage - translations, code etc etc.

I'll look at some re-wording for the Auto Login dialogue.

Let's keep the original .desktop names. In Series 4.x everything will be much tidier, please bare with me on this.

Absolutely, I have no problems with that Jerry. Will make sure to revert those changes right away and commit them.

Cheers, I'm off to work.
