Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-15 14:52:33 UTC
the .desktop files need to be named

venderid-applicationwhateverelse-you-might-desire.desktop

basically as per the 1.0 spec you need to have 1 - in there and the stuff before the dash is the venderid. 

I can fix it if ya want.

mozillafirefox-1.5.desktop -> mozilla-firefox-1.5.desktop
mozillafirefox-bin.desktop -> mozilla-firefox-bin.desktop
mozillathunderbird.desktop -> mozilla-thunderbird.desktop

I'm sure the rest need fixing as well. No need to rev bump it or anything.. This basically will effect the menu editors for ${DESKTOP}

Are you planning to file bugs about remaining 2546 ebuilds in the tree that don't follow this, or? :) This is completely pointless waste of time, IMNSHO. Go have a look at your /usr/share/applications and check how many of those .desktop files match this "specification".
Comment 2 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-15 18:39:01 UTC
Like I said... I'll fix it.

I was revising the next draft of the spec and looked on my box. The only app I had that was installed that didn't follow it was Mozilla bits. So there Mr. Jakub!

Doug, you are more than welcome to fix it (If you were just waiting for an OK).
Comment 4 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-02-14 19:36:31 UTC
Should be fixed now. I did:
www-client/mozilla-firefox
app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird
mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird-bin
www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin

I left the www-client/mozilla[-bin] ebuilds because they're going to be removed. Reopen if i missed something.

Thanks.
