Package: rox-filer
Version: 2.0.1-3
Severity: serious
Justification: FHS violation.
Hello ROX-in-Debian developers,
The file /etc/menu-methods/rox-filer do several things but in
particular:
postrun="mkdir -p /usr/share/apps/Debian ; rm -r /usr/share/apps/Debian ; " \
". /etc/roxmenu ; rm /etc/roxmenu"
This cause the following problems:
1) The FHS does not allow programs to modify /usr
2) /usr can be mounted read-only at the time update-menus is run so this
can fail.
3) You should use && insteads of ; to be sure the execution stop if one
of the command fail.
4) Creating temporary files in /etc is inappropriate.
5) /usr/share/apps/ is not private to ROX so this menu-method might be
in conflicts with others.
What you should do instead is to add an empty directory
/var/lib/rox-filer/Debian to the .deb, and change the menu-methods to:
1) create the script as /var/lib/rox-filer/roxmenu
2) create the menu in /var/lib/rox-filer/Debian
and change rox-filer to read /var/lib/rox-filer/Debian. Maybe just
add a symlink /usr/share/apps/Debian --> /var/lib/rox-filer/Debian,
though that does not address point 5) but maybe no other packages use
/usr/share/apps/ anymore.
Cheers,
--

Description:
rox-filer - A simple graphical file manager for X11
Closes: 273072 274007 286162 289314
Changes:
rox (2.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
(closes: #273072)
* Disabled current menu method to avoid breaking FHS. It needs a better knowledge of rox-filer inners.
Maybe I'll re-introduce that later, if truly useful.
Also added menu to suggested packages in control.
(closes: #286162)
* Removed additional debian images and sharutils dependency.
* Rules file revised to meet current building system and files.
* rox-filer binary renamed rox, the same for all other rox-filer refs.
Leaving rox-filer symlink anyway.
(closes: #274007)
* Added mimeapps.dpatch and dnd.patch to manage mime apps for text and text-html a la debian way.
(closes: #289314)
