Drakxtools представляет собой набор скриптов и модулей, уникальный для Mandriva/ROSA написаных на Perl с GTK интерфейсом (точнее - с помощью собственной оболочки на Perl-GTK). Развитие Drakxtools десять лет назад, однако с каждым годом становится все труднее и труднее поддерживать и расширять их за счет не очень гибкой внутренней структуры и тонны унаследованного кода. Мы считаем, что большинство drakxtools не удовлетворяют современным требованиям и должны быть заменены на более удобные современные аналоги.

Некоторые мысли по замене drakxtools:

  • Для многих инструментов есть аналоги в KDE4 Настройка рабочего стола
  • ... Тем не менее, некоторые инструменты, действительно уникальны для Mandriva/ROSA, и в настоящее время мы не имеем никаких оценок, сколько времени потребуется, чтобы сделать их аналоги
  • Для некоторых аналогов, инструменты KDE существует, но они являются отдельными приложениями (не входит в KDE Control Center)
  • Некоторые инструменты ограничены в Mandriva инфраструктуре (Mandriva Club , логины вики и т. д.), поэтому они должны быть удалены в РОСА в любом случае. Вопрос, мы хотим сделать их аналоги?
  • Еще одна уникальность для ROSA/Mandriva является Центр управления ROSA (Drakconf), которая является всего лишь оберткой, которая вызывает соответствующие инструменты с соответствующими параметрами

Возможная замена текущего конфигуратора Drakconf перечислены в таблице ниже.

Примечание
Если какой-то инструмент не установлен в системе, то соответствующий пункт меню в Drakconf не отображается. Так что, если некоторые пакеты не установлены по умолчанию, то пользователи не имеют соответствующей записи Drakconf в только что установленной системы. Вероятно, замены таких пакетов должны рассматриваться как низкий приоритет основной задачи.

Не используемые разделы

The following tools are mentioned in Control_Center.pm, but it seems that they are absent in modern repos and we should not bother about them:

  • "Manage park" => park-rpmdrake
  • "Programs scheduling" => drakcronat
  • "Remote Control" => rfbdrake

Drakbug

drakxtools also provide the 'drakbug' tool which is invoked when some drak* program is crashed. Users do report bugs using this tool in MDV bugzilla, it would be nice for us to have a replacement.

Пакеты

Drakxtools is not the only package with MDV-specific configuration tools and accompanying scripts. The complete list of packages looks like the following:

adpahci adpahci adpahci pcitable entries for Adaptec HostRAID support Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped.
Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2007
bcd bcd Tool to build Mandriva ISO  ??? Drop, ABF possibilities to build ISO images are enough for us?
bootloader-utils bootloader-utils Utilities needed to install/remove a kernel. Also for updating bootloaders Used by kernel, dracut, pm-tools.
We'll have to rewrite this in any case when switching to Grub2
drak3d drak3d 3D desktop effects tools  ??? Drop and use KDE System Settings instead
Required by harddrake
drakbt drakbt The Mandriva Linux Bittorrent link and status checker Drop. Current implementation is highly bounded to MDV infrastructure (Mandriva Club & co.).
drakcluster drakcluster Graphic interface to admin and setup the server cluster
drakcowsay drakcowsay Graphical interface for cowsay
drakfirsttime drakfirsttime The Mandriva Linux First Time Wizard  ??? Should go away if we develop a new installer. It is hard to get rid of drakxtools in the current installer, we can't use KDE tools there
draklive-install draklive-install Live installer
drakoo drakoo This wizard is run on first run of OpenOffice.org and enables to
select the default file format (either native OpenOffice.org one or Microsoft(R) Office)
Drop. The way suggested in the drakoo (set DOC_DEFAULTS* variables in ~/.oofficerc) doesn't seem to work with LibreOffice. It is easier for users to choose default format in the LibreOffice itself (Tools - Options - Load/Save - General - Default file format and ODF settings).
drakpxelinux drakpxelinux Quick configuration of PXE menu parameters
draktermserv draktermserv Terminal server configurator Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2009.0
Required by terminal-server2 ("Terminal Server - Unionfs version") which was also not rebuilt after 2009.
drakwizard drakwizard drakwizard allows you to launch :


- server wizard: configures basic services.
- global wizard: wizard that launch each other.
- dhcpd, dns, ftp, apache, time wizards, ssh.

gdm gdm The GNOME Display Manager Requires drakx-kbd-mouse-x11 to ensure XFdrake is always installed. Can we just drop this dependency if we drop XFdrake itself?
gdm-220 gdm-220 The GNOME Display Manager Why do we need both gdm-2.20 and gdm-2.32? According to Mattew, gdm-2.32 has some troubles with GNOME3, while gdm-220 works fine.
grub2 grub2 GNU GRUB is a Multiboot boot loader Grub2 itself doesn't require draktools, but its current postinstall and preuninstall scripts invoke /usr/sbin/bootloader-config from drakxtools-backend
This dependency will be dropped once we use grub2 as the only supported bootloader.
hsfmodem hsfmodem Conexant HSF controllerless modem driver for Linux Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped.
Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2010.1
hwdb-clients hwdb-clients Hardware database clients Mandriva-specific package
ipw3945d ipw3945d Regulatory daemon for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 (IPW3945ABG) Wifi adapter Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped.
Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2009.0
ipw3945-ucode ipw3945-ucode Firmware for the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 (IPW3945ABG) Wifi adapter Dependency on drakxtools seems to be superfluous and can be safely dropped.
Last time the package was rebuilt for MDV 2009.0
memtest86+ memtest86+ A stand alone memory test for i386 architecture systems The package itself doesn't require draktools, but its current postinstall and preuninstall scripts invoke /usr/sbin/bootloader-config from drakxtools-backend
mklivecd mklivecd Builds a LiveCD from an existing Mandriva Linux installation
mountloop mountloop Allow users to mount files (in particular, encrypted filesystems) via loopback drakxtools are used by drakloop - a graphical frontend for mountloop
nautilus-filesharing nautilus-filesharing Filesharing extension for Nautilus Drop. This is a Mandriva-specific Nautilus wrapper which invokes "diskdrake --fileshare" and accompanying scripts from drakxtools. However, Nautilus is able to share folders using Samba by itself.
old_rpmdrake old_rpmdrake Mandriva Linux graphical front end for sofware installation/removal Drop. Was used to compare behavior of new rpmdrake with the old one.
suspend suspend Userland tools for suspend-to-disk and suspend-to-RAM The package itself doesn't require draktools, but its postinstall script invokes /usr/sbin/bootloader-config from drakxtools-backend
task-ede task-ede Metapackage for EDE (Equinox desktop environment)  ??? Drop, doesn't seem to work in either case.
