[Freemint-list] FreeMiNT continuous integration

[Philippe Noble]

Thanks Miro, it works as expected now, this new installation is really
better and I have now a cool EasyMint setup :-)

Just a few improvement details for the next release:
- hyp-view.rsc seems corrupted. Hyp-view complaints that it's not the right
size.
- At boot XAAES spits 2 lines on the screen :
AESSYS: read_inf .....xaaes.inf
Reading 'u .....xaaes.inf'
I don't remember that XaAES was printing this in the midle of the screen at
boot.
- Something that was working on Aranym but doesn't work on my Falcon :
automatically open the console when a ttp output something. I have properly
declared TW-CALL and launch TOSWIN2 in Xaaes.cnf, set TOSWIN2 to open
console at output but If I don't set "console opens at start", the ttp will
print directly onto the desktop : poua ! Ok it works like that, but it's
not very nice to have to hide the console manually when you don't need it.
I don't know if I missed something.
- I can't manage to shutdown Mint correctly : I have tried EasyMint
shutdown and the one from Joska in Vanilla Mint, but at boot Mint always
complains that ext2 partition has not been properly shut down and check it.
Strange.
- Finally, when I try to format a floppy from Thing Desktop, it complains
that "the drive cannot be locked" and refuse to format. No clue about what
it means.

Now some cosmetic suggestions :
Something which is not new, but is really hugly, is Mint printing the
shutdown sequence directly on the AES background. If it can't be avoided,
at least can't we wipe the screen to white.
Finally it would be nice if we could avoid Mint to spit all the boot
sequence on the screen, and just have a "Mint is starting" message with a
caracter animation to show that it's booting or better a boot splash.
I understand that these are cosmetics details, but you know my love for
cosmetic and details, and these details help a lot to feel the final
product as finished.
