It contains 2 launch shortcuts: from a regular user and from root, which allows you to take snapshots of file system objects. It might be useful to someone. p.s. For BugZilla moderators... I apologize for the fact that my IP address is from the Netherlands. In Russia, the next re-election of themselves (deputies) has recently taken place and I have to encrypt my connection until all this clowning is over. With respect, Alex

I'm from the Netherlands and I feel flattered ;-) Assigning to all packagers collectively, because the registered maintainer is temporarily unavailable.

(In reply to Marja Van Waes from comment #1) > I'm from the Netherlands... Well, at least something is constantly in this world... :) Hello, Marja. :) I am very, very glad to see you again! At last Saint Panteleimon heard my prayers. Happiness and good luck to you in everything, dear, sweet Marja. I could write to you by mail, but our providers are now setting DPI everywhere and blocking important protocols. I've missed you and I'm really glad you're finally back. I hug you tightly and kiss you (in a friendly way)! ;) Now I need to catch and "kiss" (figuratively speaking) the elusive David Geiger. Did he by any chance run past you there in the Netherlands? Maybe he was too carried away by the work of Van Gogh or was seduced by the delicious cheese? I don't know what to think anymore. :) Sincerely, Alex (tags: #MgaRemix/#Raccoon/#Russia)
Dear Marja... Additionally, taking the opportunity, I want to inform you that I have successfully left the Mageia Russian community (MRC) and I moved to a more powerful forum dedicated to all kinds of Linux, where I have a separate branch dedicated to assembling live MgaRemix flash drives (derived from Mageia) based on VirtualBox. From time to time I write different programs for MegRemix. Two years ago, after reading the "Logo and trademark policy", the decisions of the council and lengthy consultations, I decided not to get involved with all the subtleties of the Mageia policy. Now I do not promote MgaRemix as a separate, physically existing Mageia derivative, but declare it as a manufacturing technology. All the assemblies that are present there are laid out as an example of MgaRemix technology. Of course, all the previously agreed points with the inability to use logos, screensavers, desktop styles, etc. are as relevant as before. In other words, I decided to fence myself off with an additional "partition" from the possibility of controversial issues related to the "Logo and trademark policy". I arm all experimental builds with my own software. Now MgaRemix has its own direction: total anonymization and encryption, protection of personal data and privacy of ordinary people. Already now the assemblies contain entry-level security tools: DNSCrypt-GUI (MITM protection, dnscrypt proxy management, encryption), ProtonVPN-GUI (OpenVPN management, connection encryption), Encrypt-Decrypt (encryption/decryption of local files - AES-256, Top Secret), Google Chrome with surveillance disabled and Adblock and WebRTC plugins (ip leak protection). In the future, I plan to implement special iptables rule schemes using trap ports (smart tarpit) as protection against external scanning (in development). What is happening in Russia is beyond reason and I cannot stay away from what is being done to my country. This is contrary to what my father and mother taught me. If you accidentally "get lost" :) in the vastness of the Russian network, you can always stop at my site: https://linuxforum.ru/viewtopic.php?id=39704 You are always welcome, no matter what the circumstances. :) Kind regards, Alex
Please test makeself-2.4.5-1.mga8 from core/updates_testing.

Hi, Jani! Test makeself-2.4.5-1.mga8.noarch.rpm: --- rpm -qi makeself Name : makeself Version : 2.4.5 Release : 1.mga8 Architecture: noarch Install Date: Сб 09 окт 2021 19:49:38 Group : Development/Other Size : 86402 License : GPLv2+ Signature : RSA/SHA256, Сб 09 окт 2021 16:54:08, Key ID b742fa8b80420f66 Source RPM : makeself-2.4.5-1.mga8.src.rpm Build Date : Сб 09 окт 2021 16:38:03 Build Host : localhost Packager : wally <wally> Vendor : Mageia.Org URL : http://makeself.io/ Summary : Make self-extractable archives on Unix Description : makeself.sh is a shell script that generates a self-extractable tar.gz archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script, and can be launched as is. The archive will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an arbitrary command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world. mkdir ~/dir1; cd ~/dir1; touch ./{file1,file2} makeself --notemp ~/dir1 mypatch.run "Makeself by Stephane Peter" echo Header is 714 lines long About to compress 4 KB of data...
