Summary

Spec for EasyUbuntu on Dapper, this page also lists possible improvements (packagewise) to EasyUbuntu for Dapper.

Rationale

People will inevitably want to use EasyUbuntu on Dapper. However, we want to retain backward compatibility with Breezy.

Design

  • An xml file containing the list of packages and configuration commands is present in the pkglist-release-arch.xml format, containing the different packages and configuration commands. EU will read and load a gui, and execute them based on the xml file

Implementation

Detect whether breezy/dapper system (lsb-release -c)

(./)

Detect the architecture

(./)

Read the packagelist file appropriate file

(./)

Load gui based on the file

(./)

Code

  • Initial Working Implementation is available in branches/eudeb

Outstanding issues

  • To handle translations from xml files, hopefully gui translations are automatic
