The menu in AfterStep shows "MandrivaLinux" at the top. This is the result of the patch AfterStep-1.8.9-menuname.patch being applied in the package sources. Either this patch should be removed, or amended to properly display "Mageia".

Can confirm. I'll try to get to fixing it.

(In reply to comment #1) > Can confirm. I'll try to get to fixing it. Upon investigation, I found out that the patch in question had already corrected in the repository back in July, but a new release was not released. I'm now going to bump the new release and submit a new version. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
OK, I submitted a new package to be fixed in Cauldron. Should we also submit it to Mageia 1? Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
I think so. Maybe Remco can prepare it as a packaging mentoring program task.
Hi Shlomi, Thanks for looking into this. Since I opened this bug report, I've started as a 'trainee' and uploaded the fix back in July myself. My mentor had assigned this bug to me. As I can't submit packages yet, I can't push it myself to the buildsystem. I'm not sure if asked Samuel to push it, or that I wanted to see about making some more changes myself first. For example, the default configuration of afterstep expects to find "asclock" which was missing from Mageia before that I've since packaged and which has found its way into Cauldron. Given the low number (I assume) of Mageia AfterStep users, I'm not sure if this menu fix is enough to warrant an update to 1, though I'm not opposed to it either. Finally, all that said and done, it looks like the package submitted failed to build. I'm a bit surprised to see this actually as it doesn't seem related to any change you or I have made. Any ideas you have on that are most appreciated!

The problem there was that the AfterStep makefiles are not fail-proof for parallel builds (e.g: "make -j2"), because they sometimes have: all: libAfterStep.a program-that-depends-on-libAfterStep.a And the program-that-depends does not have libAfterStep.a in its make dependencies. So it failed to parallel build in this case (but may otherwise succeed other times by chance.). Then there was a problem that %make_session was deprecated and no longer used and I had to remove the %post and %postun sections, but now the package has been uploaded with all the fixed. So I'm going to close this bug and sorry if I interfered. Next time please convey the "trainee" intentions for the package. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
