(I cannot provide a link, because they don't have a public bug tracker.) So we'll add it as soon as it will appear in their tarball. IMHO the slightly different icon is a very minor issue and not a sufficient reason to switch to a different distribution format. As for the desktop file, is there any concrete problem with the one that the ebuild currently installs?

Sounds reasonable. Wasn't complaining, just trying to make a suggestion. Thanks for all your work to get this packaged up for Gentoo! > As for the desktop file, is there any concrete problem with the one that the > ebuild currently installs? No, the Gentoo-provided .desktop file works fine. Resolving as UPSTREAM, because they shouldn't omit files in some of their packaging formats. |
