Hello, guys!

I'd like to announce HMTsu application. It is a graphical frontend to devel-su, sudo (opensudo) and ariadne.

I built it because I wanted something like gksu (or kdesu, if you like) to be present on Harmattan. For me it is more natural to use graphical password prompt if I want to launch graphical app. Besides, on N9 most apps spam with Qt debug info to stderr - it really looks ugly when it accumulates in terminal window that was used for password prompt. And don't forget that this terminal window should remain open all the time while you use the app that was launched in such way!

HMTsu (pronounced "harmattan-su") eliminates all these problems by providing nice graphical password prompt and handling all devel-su / sudo / ariadne routines internally. Also, it provides a GUI for launching any command with desired tool and options.

HMTsu homepage: https://github.com/lcferrum/hmtsu (pay attention to README)
On SourceForge.net: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hmtsu
On OpenRepos.net: https://openrepos.net/content/lcferrum/hmtsu

Download HMTsu: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hmtsu/files/hmtsu/ (latest version is 0.2.2)

Also, I've made several root patches for various Harmattan apps. These patches add additional "root" launch icon to application screen for selected app. Root is achieved differently, depending on various factors:
  • If app was installed through inception / aegis-install / "AEGIS_FIXED_ORIGIN=com.nokia.maemo" - it will be launched with ariadne (or opensudo, if ariadne wasn't found)
  • If app was installed using standard ways - it will be launched with devel-su

Root patches homepage: https://github.com/lcferrum/hmtsu-root-patches (pay attention to README)
On OpenRepos.net: https://openrepos.net/search/node/root%20patch

Download root patches: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hmt...-root-patches/ (currently patches are available for BTinput Term, CuteExplorer, File Manager, Filebox, FileCase, FilesPlus, FingerTerm, KhtEditor, KhtSimpleText, MeeTxtEdit, MTermite, myExplorer, QAD File Manager, Redak, Terminal and TxPad)

New version is out: 0.1.3

  • Better password prompt (now also displays target application icon)
  • Additional symlinks: hmtsudo (for sudo/opensudo) and hmtadn (for ariadne)

New root patches for:

Also, several root patches now use application desktop file directly (so to show application icon and splash screen). Check out FileBox patch for example.

That's 100x better than root patches! ;D

Just wanted to mention that I'm currently working on a port of HMTsu for Sailfish OS, he he.

Hope it will pass Harbour requirements...
