Anyone got some back-end programming he can't pull off himself? I'm itching to do something a little more than packaging now (while not biting off more than I can chew, hence 'Epic Fail Guy') If it's Gambas, I can at least look at the code and suggest an algorithm.  |

Well, There was a conversation on IRC about a good replacement for vsuper.
easuter had started one but he ran into security issues.
Another suggestion would be a good cd burner app. Maybe you can write a backend, and we could easily draw a nice gui for it. I've always thought we need to give that a shot sometime

Agreed with the burner. I was going to give it a shot, but I've much to much to learn about GTK. Nooooo not gonna mess with Gambas. |

I think if we could come up with a good backend, the GUI is no problem

That is a good idea. I use cdrtfe when I am stuck in windows, which is a frontend for cdrtools. It is quite good, and suitable for advanced users as well (you don't lose functionality compared with the cli versions).

Isn't that reinventing the wheel? |

I think linux still doesn't have a good cd burner app... maybe it's just me, but all the existing apps have fallen short for me at some time |

I think k3b is awesome. But heavy. I would say Linux doesn't have a good "lightweight" burning app. Besides, it would introduce us to many new users.

I do feel somewhat like "kidd" - it may be re-inventing the wheel. There are great ncurses, lightweight burning apps (bashburn, mybashburn) already out there and Graveman I though was excellent even though it had two bugs in it. Why not take over the Graveman code? It's a great start, just needs fixing up and adding DVD video capabilities... |

Can you give me an idea of what options the script would take? |

What about a simple tool to switch default language, locale, and perhaps other environment variables?

I would find a KRename-type utility which was not so bloated (not dependent on KDElibs) and bug-prone (last time I used it, anyways) to be very useful. It should be "safe" and it should provide an option to create a script which can restore the original names. The latter would be for situations where randomly named image files are "sequentialized" for processing, then their original names restored.

Pretty much mock the options that k3b offers, but make them work  keep it light-weight (away from kde or gnome libs) An entirely different line of thought for those of you interested. This might require some ingenuity and creativity.... so here it goes I've had thoughts about creating a "system restore" utility. This might be very useful to newbies. This utility would undo (up to some extent) any damage created by a bad upgrade. I think linux needs this. maybe find a way to log what is being upgraded. It may require storing information (if not packages) on the disc drive and maybe make it run in the background (or force gslapt or slapt-get to run it before any operations). So far, that's all I got... if you all have any other ideas, let's hear them |

http://pastebin.ca/823097Here's vlocaleset. When you put it in /sbin, it should function. This script can easily be integrated into the existing VASM because it's written in bash. ...but it uses Perl at one point... I'm entertaining the 'krename' idea. Edit: To be 'lightweight', I would have to implement a subset of KRename's functionality. Hmm...
