Hi folks,
I propose an update for DESKTOP_ENTRIES:
http://people.freebsd.org/~makc/patches/desktop_entry_20130102.diff
Changes:
- update list of categories to the version 1.1 of Desktop Menu Specification
- require Icon field to follow Desktop Entry Specification (the field must be
absolute path or icon name if icon theme is used)
- require main category to be set (listed in DESKTOP_CATEGORIES_MAIN)
- remove deprecated Encoding key
- allow StartupNotify field to be empty string
- be less strict when generating filename for desktop entry (to improve
readability when full path to executable is used)
- use port ${COMMENT} if comment field is not set
- add GenericName key (comment field will be used)
About 20 ports will throw warnings about icon field, several ports don't set
main category, about 60 use non-standard 'Application' for categories.
I'm willing to fix them all.
Review and suggestion are welcome!
Happy New Year!
Max
