[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Adding swapon/off to Jakub's Load-Plugin applet - Patches

[From: Armin M. Warda]

  Hi,

attached you find three patches for Jakub's Load-Plugin applet.
I applied these changes to the source code downloaded from:

http://koti.welho.com/jpavelek/tmp/770/load-plugin_0.2.5-1.tar.gz

My code-changes are split into three incremental steps to make it 
easier to understand (and improve ;-) them: 

- patch1 adds a 'swapfile' configuration string to the settings menu.
- patch2 makes all configuration settings persistent via gconf.
- patch3 adds the swapon/off menu-entry and logic.

The Load-Plugin runs as 'user', swapon and swapoff need 'root',
thus you have to add the following line to /etc/sudoers manually:
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/swapon *, /sbin/swapoff *

Hopefully my changes are picked up, cleaned up, tested, and make it 
into the next main release.

(Btw., I dropped auto-discovery of active swaps, because I think there 
is no need to auto-activate a swap on reboot via /etc/rc2.d/ anymore, 
when swapon/off is just one click away...)

  Armin.

P.S.: With 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot' - how can I make sure the 
produced shared object is 'stripped' before packaging occurs?
