Re-implementation of Xdialog

[khorben]

Hi there,

I learned a couple months ago that Xdialog is still used and useful in FreeBSD, when configuring the system with bsdconfig -X. I was already working on a re-implementation of bsddialog with Gtk+ 3, and figured I should continue this effort to cover the functionality and features of Xdialog.

I thought I should reach out to you in case you are interested, since I have just released gbsddialog in its version 0.8.1, which I hope will be included in FreeBSD’s official packages soon.

You can find gbsddialog at https://github.com/khorben/gbsddialog; it includes the re-implementation in tools/Xdialog after running make.

Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or feedback.

Cheers,
-- khorben

Some features of Xdialog(1) are still missing or incomplete, like tracking changes to files in logbox and tailbox.

pmirror by Zigbert used a logbox to show the backed up files .
Few people use this software. There is other backup software .
