Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-08-11 08:10:23 UTC
desktop-file-validate is complaining about Pantheon, but it shouldn't, and Portage should ignore any desktop-file-validate errors with word 'Pantheon' in it

this is coming from Ubuntu and removing or changing it would actually break the .desktop file

 * Messages for package www-client/midori-0.5.4:

 * QA Notice: This package installs one or more .desktop files that do not
 * pass validation.
 * 
 * 	/usr/share/applications/midori-private.desktop: error: value "Pantheon;" for key "NotShowIn" in group "Desktop Entry" contains an unregistered value "Pantheon"; values extending the format should start with "X-"
 *

as in, Pantheon will almost certainly be added to the specification later in the development process, and we shouldn't kill their efforts of better support right from the start just because desktop-file-validate complains

This is fixed in 2.2.0.

As I'm reading this, this would only supress NotShowIn, right? What about OnlyShowIn?
There might be more I can't think of now, that's why I said "should ignore any desktop-file-validate errors with word 'Pantheon'"
Comment 5 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-13 05:46:28 UTC
Ignoring anything containing 'Pantheon' is too loose, since it might allow some genuine problems through. My policy with portage's desktop-file-validate filtering has always been to filter very specific patterns that we actually know about. So, I'd like us to collect a very specific list of known messages that need to be filtered.

OK, that's fine.  Just add OnlyShowIn then, which uses same syntax as NotShowIn, and I'll just open a new bug if there are more later.

Thanks, I think I've covered most of the Pantheon ebuilds in the elementary overlay. I'll try to check if there are any cases not covered by this fix.

This is fixed in 2.2.1.
