This document explains the contents of this folder.

  • For each new piece of software installed to the CVL, copy the README-TEMPLATE.md file to the folder, rename it to 'README.md' and complete the details.

  • The next step is to create and test the Singularity recipe for your software.

  • Lastly, the menu items need to be created. The 'xdg' folder contains the required template files.

    For each new application to be installed a .menu and .directory file is required.

      /xdg/xdg_config/applications-merged/application/applicationName.menu
  /xdg/xdg_data/desktop-directories/applicationName.directory

    For each new application version, just the .desktop file is required.

      /xdg/xdg_data/applications/applicationName_version.desktop

    These files contain comments and hints on how to complete them. Please refer to the existing ones as a guide.

    The icon file needs to be placed in ../xdg/xdg_data/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps If you don't have an icon for your application just use 'gnome-terminal.png'

    Lastly, if you application is new to the CVL, it should be added to the CVL Menu. Edit the file ../xdg/xdg_config/menus/cvl.menu adding your newly created .menu file.

    If all goes well, your menu should like a bit like this:
