I've been doing a little housecleaning on the menu packages. Package
maintainers will want to look at the new sort option below.
These new packages are waiting in incoming and should appear in
unstable soon.
menu-tiny_0.3
-------------
Default sorting is now done alphanumberically, (newly coined word),
such that "10" > "2" and "iso8859-10" > "iso8859-2", (thanks for the
pointer Keith).
Also, for finer control, menu entries may now have a name/value pair
`sort="value"` that, if present, will control the sorting rather than
the title. The sort will be done alphanumberically as described
above. This should be very handy for organizing menus like the
Frontlight control, (which is currently a disaster). PLEASE update
menu entries to use the new sort option if necessary.
A menu manager program can now provide preruntest, prerun, and postrun
to make install-menu run some commands on its behalf.
gtk-menu_0.4-1
--------------
Takes advantage of menu-tiny's new postrun command to do a
"kill -HUP `pidof gtk-menu`" so the menu will now dynamically reload
whenever packages are removed/installed. Hurrah!
Now has support for menu entries that "need=textpause" so you will now
see new menu entries for things like xdpyinfo, (and it will actually
be useful).
ipkg_build_1.6
--------------
Now refuses to build a package if Section: is not specified, (pikpak
is now doing smart things with the Section field).
