[opensuse-packaging] openSUSE extensions to categories for desktop files
Hi, Here's a list of categories that are listed in our package conventions [1] but that are not in the fd.o spec [2]. Here's an attemps to fix this by either using a fd.o category or trying to push the unregistered category to fd.o. [1] http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Desktop_Menu#9.4._Category_L... [2] http://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html#catego... * Design: not quite sure. I guess it's for UML tools (and other similar tools). Nothing really matching here in fd.o. Send upstream? * School: what's the use case here? * Teaching — obsoletes X-KDE-Edu-Teaching: any example of application where this would be useful? * 3DGame: is this really needed? * FirstPersonGame: redundant with ActionGame? Or register it? * PlatformGame: not sure, but I'd say redundant with ActionGame or ArcadeGame * PuzzleGame: redundant with LogicGame? * Photograph: use the fd.o Photography category instead (could have been a typo) * CD: don't know. A better name would be Disc, I guess. We might want to register it, although I'm not convinced it's that useful. * Jukebox: redundant with Player? * Warehouse: is it useful? * DesktopUtility: I guess it's used to list utilities with the Utility category but that don't go anywhere else. I'm not fond of it, it sounds like a workaround for the way the menu is built. We could handle this in the .menu file instead * PrintingUtility: use Printing instead? * SyncUtility: makes sense to have Synchronization registered, I believe * TimeUtility: what's the use case? * WebUtility: what's the use case? * XMLUtility: is it really needed? * Backup: isn't Archiving enough? * SystemSetup: sounds like "System;Settings;" to me. Shouldn't we use that instead? FWIW, I looked at a beta 1 install, with GNOME, KDE3 and KDE4 (but not all packages installed, so it's obviously not a perfect test): + I can't find any desktop file using Design, School, Teaching, 3DGame, FirstPersonGame, PlatformGame, PuzzleGame, Photograph, Jukebox, Warehouse, Backup, XMLUtility, WebUtility, TimeUtility + some desktop files already use Photography + X-SuSE-CD is used by kscd and kaudiocreator + X-SuSE-SyncUtility is used by kpilot, kitchensync, kpilot + X-SuSE-PrintingUtility is used by gnome-cups-manager, cups, kdeprintfax and kjobviewer + X-SuSE-DesktopUtility is used by xkill, xmag, kcolorchooser, ksnapshot, knotes, xclipboard, xrefresh, tomboy, kpager, ksnapshot, knotes What do you think?

I think you should login into Nbg network and grep through the spec files or /mounts/dist/unpacked/ including /opt/kde3/share/applications/ for a complete overview. :-) Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
