Re: [opensuse-packaging] Dealing with desktop files that use standard icons

Hi,
only very recently brp-desktop was fixed to allow desktop files
that refer to standard icons from the XDG Icon Naming Spec rather
than providing their own icons (see
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=571819) and this
continues to be a problem causing fatal errors when building
packages for 12.1 and 11.4. I'm wondering how to deal with this,
I can think of several options:

Yep.. annoying one..


* make a copy from some icon theme and provide it in hicolor (not
really viable since this can easily lead to conflicts with other
packages)
* make a copy from some icon theme and rename it to some invented
name and edit the desktop file (not nice either, diverges from
upstream and prevents theming)
* disable brp-check-suse (big hammer, probably with side effects)

Another option: copy the fixed brp-check-suse package to your project
and profit from the fix.

That's clearly the best solution, thanks.
