Description Sean Camanyag 2003-04-01 22:24:40 UTC
net-www/phoenix-cvs/phoenix-cvs-0.5-r2.ebuild builds fine, however it does not
add an entry to the gnome Applications->Internet menu. Please have the ebuild
check for USE=gnome, and if set create
/usr/share/gnome/apps/Internet/phoenix.desktop.

Reproducible: Always

Seth, reassigning this to you since you are the phoenix-cvs author. (I'm only the cvs.eclass peon, heh)

IMO, adding it to the gnome startmenu is wrong, because of this:
1) phoenix-bin does not come with an entry, why should phoenix-cvs?
2) If the author wants to provide an entry - fine. If he doesn't, why should we? At least half of the programs in X come without an entry - shall we write them ourselfes? I say no, because it sounds like useless waste of time.
3) Whats up with the kde guys? I hear them yelling already. :)

Your decision, seth.

i'm agreeing with phoenix here, this is a beta ebuild in portage becuase people on other architecutres wanted phoenix support (ppc). 

I don't think we should add a gnome entry for EVERY ebuild in the tree, unless maybe we can eclass it somehow.  if you submit a patch, we'll apply it, better yet if you make it eclassable (so we can have a GNOME_CATEGORY and GNOME_PKGNAME or whatever) and the eclass would automatically add it, that would be awesome i'm resolving this bug as LATER

Fixed this in Mozilla Firebird - a GNOME menu item is now installed
