You are guilty of possessing a system with (at least) one /etc/menu-methods/*
14
that is written using the over 2-years-old menu-method syntax.
16
The program used for interpreting this old syntax started segfaulting
17
in menu version 1.5-20, causing many problems.
19
I've been maintaining the compat stuff now for over two years, and I
20
simply don't feel like it's worth the trouble any more.
22
So, in this menu version, support for the 2-years-old menu-method syntax
26
What should you do now?
31
EXAMP=/usr/doc/menu/examples/$BASE
32
METHOD=/etc/menu-methods/$BASE
33
if test -f $EXAMP; then
35
Well, you are lucky as I (menu maintainer) have already re-written
36
the old-syntax $METHOD file, and put the new-syntax version
37
in /usr/doc/menu/examples/$BASE. So, if you are a sysadmin, simply do:
39
If you are the maintain'er of $BASE, then please replace $METHOD
40
with the new $EXAMP file in your package.
48
Well, although I did try to rewrite as many (all?) menu-methods files
49
in /etc/menu-methods/, I seem to have overlooked $BASE. So, it needs
50
to be written. It isn't all that difficult, so probably you will succeed
51
in doing it yourself, by looking at the documentation in /usr/doc/menu,
52
and other example menu-method files in /etc/menu-methods/.
53
However, I would very much like to help with this, so if you don't have
54
the inclination, time, or have any other problem, just send the latest
55
version of your menu-method file to me, and I will translate it.
