Hm, not sure that is required. Did you try:
mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/pixmaps
cp <path>/gtkate.png %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/pixmaps/gtkate.png
No I haven't, Thank you, I'll give that a go. I seems my search for the xdg icon spec should have been an rpmbuild search for the correct .spec file handling of it. Also, sorry my replies break threading. I have to use https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/packaging@lists.opensuse.org to see and reply to my list messages. My ISP has broken mail handling that bounces all mails from the new lists.opensuse.org (all of them, users, factory, packaging, etc..) I get some through and some bounce depending on which mail-host they hit first at my ISP. Per thought he had a work-around, and I get some messages, but not all. So that's why I break threading :( -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
