Description Michelangelo Scopelliti 2011-01-04 14:19:08 UTC

xterm.desktop and uxterm.desktop are not installed. Apparently, it's related to the value of DESKTOP_FLAGS in the Makefile (supposedly pointing to absolute path; wild guessing).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xterm
2. equery f xterm
3. --> no desktop files installed

emerge --info

I don't think it's relevant, but here's my emerge --info

ebuild patch

A quick and dirty workaround. Actually, I think it's easier than sedding/patching Makefile, but it's just my opinion.

well I don't want to add depend of desktop-file-utils to xterm's ebuild and desktop-file-install command sucks with $DESTDIR in any case so your solution using domenu is sufficient

thanks for the patch, it's now in 270
