Hello,
I created a new project on salsa - "Debian Junior Desktop"
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-jr-team/debian-junior-desktop
The goal is to have something running which is not too difficult
to setup and maintain. I think IceWM should be a nice Window
Manager for children and guides. We may change it at sometime,
but for the next steps it should be fine.
The idea is to have an own package which provides configuration
files and tools to setup and use a desktop for Debian Jr.
# Debian control file
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-jr-team/debian-junior-desktop/-/blob/master/debian/control
I have added 'junior-config' and 'icewm' in the 'Depends'-section.
The configuration files are provided in etc/icewm and will be
installed via the rules and install files
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-jr-team/debian-junior-desktop/-/tree/master/debian
The rules file will copy and prepare (if required) the files. I
think the files should be installed in /etc/blends/junior/*
Example of the package structure
dpkg -c ../debian-junior-desktop_0.0.1_amd64.deb
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2021-12-25 14:16 ./
