liteupdatesnotify has been updated in GH. We now need to change the index name (repo name) to lite-updatesnotify as well but that's something I can't do from my end, unless we don't wanna change that name which really doesn't make much of a difference to me as long as everything else under is properly named.

We can leave the repo names as they are.

Cool!

To create md5sums of all files to be included in a deb package, browse to the folder root of the package and execute:

Code:

find . -type f ! -regex '.*.hg.*' ! -regex '.*?debian-binary.*' ! -regex '.*? DEBIAN.*' -printf '%P ' | xargs md5sum > DEBIAN/md5sums

Cheers, that command will certainly save time.

This command seems to ensure Steps 5 & 6 match:

Code:

apt-get -s dist-upgrade | awk '/[0-9]+ upgraded,/ {print $1 " package updates are available"}'

Propose the following for updatenotify file:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
xhost local:$USER > /dev/null 2>&1
export DISPLAY=:0
tmpfile=/tmp/lun
ionice -c2 -p$$ -n 7;nice -n 19 apt-get update >/dev/null 2>&1
UPD=$(apt-get -s dist-upgrade | awk '/[0-9]+ upgraded,/ {print $1 " package updates are available"}' && echo && echo Click here to remove this message); >> $tmpfile
if grep -q -x '0 packages can be updated.' /tmp/lun; then
    notify-send -i /usr/share/icons/Faenza/places/48/distributor-logo-ubuntu.png --expire-time=5000 '   Lite Updates Notify' "Your system is up-to-date"
else
    notify-send -i /usr/share/icons/Faenza/apps/48/system-software-installer.png --expire-time=10000 'Install Updates' "$UPD"
fi
xhost - >/dev/null 2>&1
rm -f $tmpfile
exit

Back to this. Do you want to show this notification instead?

[valtam]

Yes please, keeps it simple for our users and no confusion vs Synaptic.

Package with the latest code available in GH:

Cheers!

Just make sure to delete any old /etc/sudoers.d/lun file you may have in place or just install and uninstall this package twice and it will remove it for you.

Working well here in a VM, cheers Ralphy.

Jerry,

The last commit broke the application, unfortunately. I'm about to commit a fix for Lite Updates Notify to use these icons you have included (which are visually more user-friendly) but before I do so, I would like to ask you if it is fine with you to place these images under /usr/share/pixmaps/ which is a common Ubuntu folder containing icons related to specific applications instead of creating a new folder and subfolder for just those 2 icons.

The reason why I ask this is because it is simpler to keep app icons together in one location to manage them. Also, ubuntu searches in that folder by default to pull GUI icons. I just don't want to be pushing commits moving things around without we agree upon a standard way to handle these.

Here is the updated preview (backend is now fixed too)

[valtam]

I'm aware of /usr/share/pixmaps. I've started avoiding the use of this because it ends up being full of random image files from various applications. I'm not totally against using it, I was just pursuing a practice of using /usr/share/liteapplicationgoeshere as a means to tidy things up, keep them consistent.
