Hello! I noticed today that app-office/lyx-2.1.2 redundantly installs two .desktop files: /usr/share/applications $ cat lyx.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Type=Application Name=LyX GenericName=Document Processor Comment=High level LaTeX frontend Exec=lyx %F TryExec=lyx Icon=lyx StartupNotify=false StartupWMClass=Lyx Terminal=false Categories=Office;WordProcessor;Qt; MimeType=text/x-lyx;application/x-lyx; /usr/share/applications $ cat lyx-lyx.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=LyX Type=Application Comment=WYSIWYM frontend for LaTeX, DocBook, etc. Exec=lyx TryExec=lyx Icon=lyx Categories=Office; MimeType=application/x-lyx; The former is provided by upstream and the latter is created by the ebuild: make_desktop_entry ${PN} "LyX" "${PN}" "Office" "MimeType=application/x-lyx;" Since upstream is providing a more complete one now, can we remove the custom one? There was a similar Debian report here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=762986
I see no reason why we shouldn't remove this (line of 'make_desktop_entry'), -_- @pavel, do you agree? or I can proceed for you and thanks for reporting.
yes please remove the line in ebuild, it slipped through the cracks. also while you are in the right directory feel free to kill those ebuilds: 2.1.1 2.0.7.1-r2 2.0.6
fixed in 2.1.3, thanks
