(Excuse my bad english) I have written a little program that will generate menus for diffrent(right now as alpha only for Window Maker) window managers. But there was a problem in catagorizing the applications. Like if they belong to the group of graphic program or networking or something else. And that some binaries found in libaries should not be added to menus either. There is several ways to implement that but I thought it was easiest to implement a new "tag" like @name, I call it @pmg_ (becouse program is named pmg(Ports Menu Generator)). I can be changed if necassary. The @pmg_ tag would solve the problem both for catagory and which binaries to add to a menu. Syntax: @pmg_CATAGORY binary:menu description:type type: is needed becouse you'll never know if it is a window manager or an normal X client/program or something else. Code can be found at: ftp://thanius.cx/pub/FreeBSD pmg1.tgz is the first and now working release of pmg (but it isnt so useful) pmg2.tgz is the new one, it will do same thing as pmg1 and it supports the new tag @pmg_. WARNING: do not run those applications as root. Becouse I havent checked the code throughtly yet and It may do some bad things. Just run the /bin/sh scripts I included.
