Support for upcoming console cases

[meleu]

@michaelkirsch some things I noticed at a first glance:

• some lines are indented with a tab followed by spaces (lines 45, 50 and 58). This should be fixed to spaces only.

• if your driver is for rpi only, you can make the scriptmodule be shown only on rpi installs using some flags. Example:

rp_module_flags="noinstclean !mali !x86"

• I think the function remove_kintaropcb should also do those steps to disable the driver (systemctl disable and stop).

• I also think you should say what exactly that pcb_1.0.0_armhf.deb installs.

@meleu Thank you for your quick reply. I will do this today

[MichaelKirsch]

@meleu two questions. Where should i write what the .deb is doing ? And what program do you use to see if something is only indented or tab ? I use gedit on linux and that doesnt show that

Maybe in rp_module_help. You can break lines using \n. Example:

rp_module_help="Kintaro Pcb Driver\n\nThis module installs:\n- file1\n- file2\n- file3..."

And what program do you use to see if something is only indented or tab ?

Mozilla Firefox (look lines 45, 49 and 60):

I use gedit on linux and that doesnt show that

I also opened your file with vim editor and noticed those tabs, maybe your gedit is configured to display tabs as 4 spaces.

okay thanks i will do that :)

[MichaelKirsch]

@meleu yeah seems like gedit is not doing a great job with it i now fixed it within github

@MichaelKirsch some points

• pcb.py into /opt/kintaro could be just the full path: /opt/kintaro/pcb.py. Same thing for kintaro.service.

• I can't see why your driver needs doxygen. Is it really necessary?

• I'm not sure if it will be part of RetroPie-Setup. Even if not, I think that a scriptmodule is the way to provide an user-friendly way to your customers install/enable your driver. ;-)

[MichaelKirsch]

@meleu okay i will change the pathes. Yes i just saw that too no i dont need doxygen :)

I don't think I want to include this is RetroPie but as meleu said you can provide it for your users.

[MichaelKirsch]

@BuZz Is there something you suggest I should do different? I would love to get some feedback from you as you're experienced with user friendly services.
