Hi Jan
I was discussing this with a few people and we have come up with what we feel would be a better proposal in the long term, that is to populate the group tag from the desktop file category shipped with the package.
I find that 1799 (noarch|x86_64).rpm files carry a /usr/share/applications/*.desktop file; the ARCHIVES.gz lists 39095 such rpms overall, which puts the coverage of your suggestion to 4%, which is about the same as Richard's proposal of using AppData XML files instead. That would also still leave Stasiek's point open that you would have to contribute to every upstream package to fix a blatant miscategorization. I remember there was something like %suse_update_desktop_files to take care of it locally, but that macro seems to have gone too.
The one placed I can think of where some people might want some form of groups is for certain command line applications like editors etc if people want they can add a desktop file and set it not to show in desktops. [...] So again I want to propose we drop the Group: from spec files and then move toward auto generating it from relevant desktop files as possible which will be much more maintainable and will save every one work (especially as its already been demonstrated that we have tools capable of dropping the group flag. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
