[opensuse-packaging] Not registered Category in desktop file
Hi what is needed to register a category in desktop file, which is already in Registered Categories in freedesktop.org specification[1]? I currently get following error in buildservice (in Factory, 11.1 shows even more confusing message about unknown category \"$i\"): WARNING: Category "TelephonyTools" is unknown \! WARNING: it is ignored, until you registered a Category at opensuse-packaging@opensuse.org . ... ERROR: No sufficient Category definition: /usr/src/packages/BUILDROOT/wammu-0.31.1-1.1.i386//usr/share/applications/wammu.desktop Errors in installed desktop file detected. Please mail stbinner@suse.de, if you think this is wrong. PS: It's great that error messages show two contacts - one is reachable only after subscribing and second one does not exist at all.

I had this error long back and even saw a bug report about this while building webilder. But when I tried with a different set of categories, everything worked fine. I missed to report the issue then. So, try again with a different set of categories to check if that solves the problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Is there some documented set of categories which do work in opensuse? Or am I supposed to try and fail until I find something what works? -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

Not exactly easy to read, but... /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu, from the desktop-data-openSUSE package. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

It's listed at http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Desktop_Menu And I'm all for killing this, fwiw... We should just accept what is right according to the fdo spec, and if we're not happy with the spec, fix the spec.

Thanks, but it does not mention anything about removing of some categories from fdo spec (so the missing ones are maybe not intentional). And there is also no mention about "category registration" which was supposed by the error message.

You're right, I don't see single reason why there should be some missing from the spec. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com

I don't know if there's an official equivalent but I still have a list of the valid desktop categories according to freedesk.org, and which ones are valid according to openSUSE. You can find it here: http://www.davjam.org/~davjam/linux/desktop_categories.php I'm actually surprised it's still there as it was only supposed to be there for a short while, sort of as a back-up for my later posts and a couple of bug reports, and I had intended to eventually remove it. In the end, I forgot all doing anything with it and this has reminded me about it again. As such, I think I'll leave it up for a while longer[0]. As for why it was created, the reason is in the thread that starts here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-01/msg00130.html and continues here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2009-02/msg00037.html [0] I think I'll leave it a lot longer and, once development of 11.3 is well underway, run the same tests under Factory and add that to the tables.
