Re: New version of xfe

@step, here is the recipe for xfe-2.0.1. I hope I have it correct. If I don't, I value your review and correction.

Thanks to all the Fatdog team.

Dan

edit-

Don't use the recipe I attached, it is faulty. Use the official version from the Fatdog repository.

Re: New version of xfe

step , I think I understand the point you are making. For clarification, are you saying that all packages need to have the full name, or only ones that require version precision? Most of the SLACKREQ lines in the recipes in the /source subdirectory use only the name.

Hello Fatdog team,

There is a new version of Xfe, 2.0, with new features and improvements. A version 2.0.x is due out soon with bug fixes, but I put this here for now. The attached item is just the recipe in its directory for use with the Fatdog native package build system. I noted in the recipe ...

Hello retiredt00 ,

Have you looked at tlp and tlpui? I haven't yet, but I wonder if it might serve your need. It seems to be new to the 900 repository.

I'll have to investigate it soon.

(Edit) I got some unexpected free time, and looked at tlpui. It's nice, but maybe not what you are after.
