I'm not sure if I understand. Why not removing macro completely?
Hi I imagine deprecated, not dropped as this would break how many packages (lots)?
I meant dropping the macro in newest release (upcoming 11.4) of course. We can't remove macro from old SUSE distributions.
Hi But if it's present in a spec file to build 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 and Factory (aka 11.4) as well as SLE, then it should still work, or are you saying I need to modify all my spec files just to build for factory?
If we drop macro in Factory, then the following should work:
--- in preamble:
%if 0%{?suse_version} && 0%{?suse_version} < 1140 BuildRequires: update-desktop-files %endif
--- in %install phase:
%if 0%{?suse_version} && 0%{?suse_version} < 1140 %suse_update_desktop_file %{name} %endif
Usually you don't need to call anything. If you need to alter desktop file then you would use this:
--- in preamble:
BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils %if 0%{?suse_version} && 0%{?suse_version} < 1140 BuildRequires: update-desktop-files %endif
--- in %install phase:
%if 0%{?suse_version} && 0%{?suse_version} < 1140 %suse_update_desktop_file %{name} %else desktop-file-install .... %endif
I maintain 6 packages that use one or more desktop files and then I have a few more in my home project and sub projects not to mention multimedia:apps that aren't in my home. It looks like a couple of hours of unnecessary, mundane work for somebody who donates their time and is also in the middle of a couple of major updates which will most probably take another couple of weeks.
