This seems too easy. ########### by dolphin_oracle » Sun Jul 19, 2020 12:05 pm the files that we use to define what's in mx-packageinstaller->popular apps are XML files. there are even places for screenshots, pre and post install scripts if extra steps are needed, like adding repos. https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist ########### I found 4 examples with external repositories https://github.com/MX-Linux/mx-packageinstaller-pkglist/search?q=repository&unscoped_q=repository To me ‘spotify_64.pm’ seems the closest match to what I believe we’d want. ‘airvpn.pm’ is the most complex, probably good for example/reference. In any event I copy/pasted/edited what I could (attached as tde_64.pm). Which probably needs to go into the TDE git somewhere. Things that definitely need checking: - <installable> architecture(s) (I picked 64, not completely sure that’s correct). - method/place for # Import GPG signing key. (needs review by MX dev). - when to use sudo and when it’s not needed (got no real clue why some commands use it). - <description> needs an official English description and then as many translations as we can do. We also need a TDE developer to interface with dolphin_oracle directly for the ‘official’ request to add it to their system. Anything else I can help with let me know, Michael
