Bug 414125 – repoman does not recognize Konqueror Service Menus

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Julian Ospald 2012-04-30 15:38:25 UTC]

explanation: http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Creating_Konqueror_Service_Menus#Creating_an_Action
example file: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/sunrise-reviewed.git;a=blob_plain;f=www-misc/abloadtool/files/abloadaction.desktop

repoman report:
  desktop.invalid               3
   www-misc/abloadtool/files/abloadaction.desktop: required key "Name" in group "Desktop Entry" is not present
   www-misc/abloadtool/files/abloadaction.desktop: key "Actions" is present in group "Desktop Entry", but the type is "Service" while this key is only valid for type "Application"
   www-misc/abloadtool/files/abloadaction.desktop: key "MimeType" is present in group "Desktop Entry", but the type is "Service" while this key is only valid for type "Application"


as far as I understand those menu files can be recognized by the following entry:

ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin

We simply call desktop-file-validate from the dev-util/desktop-file-utils program. I guess we can add some code to detect this specific error and ignore it when appropriate.

This should fix it:

This is released for testing in 2.2.0_alpha102.

I believe this was wrongly resolved and KDE developers have just not pushed hard enough in the XDG mailing list to validate new type of entries
Everything possible recognizing them as such should keep on complaining long as they do the work

Well, the spec explicitly mentions that Type=Service is reserved for use within KDE:

  http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/apb.html

Based on that, I get the feeling that desktop-file-validate just doesn't support these "KDE-specific extensions" happen to be mentioned in the spec.

ah yes, you seem to be right if it's mentioned there too :)

This is fixed in 2.1.10.58.
