Re: marble - to much entries in the menu

Hi there,

Looking http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?files=marble

Maybe we should remove these files too (at packaging time)?

[c]/usr/include with all content
/usr/share/marble/cmake/FindMarble.cmake

/usr/share/applications/marble-mobile.desktop
/usr/share/applications/marble-touch.desktop
/usr/share/applications/marble-qt.desktop

/usr/bin/marble-mobile
/usr/bin/marble-touch[/c]
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=327405

It's technically possible to install all .desktop files in parallel.

However, since all files have the same user-visible content, multiple seemingly identical entries will appear in the XDG menu which will start different variants of Marble.

Hence, we need to rely on packagers to select the appropriate .desktop files for the packaged Marble binaries.

. . .

This affects the Maemo (marble-mobile) and MeeGo (marble-touch) apps.

Hi aleksej,

Take care of cook 'features' : http://hg.slitaz.org/cookutils/file/edf295b6098f/cook#l450

[c]

# Generic desktop entry copy can be disabled with GENERIC_MENUS="no"

if [ "$GENERIC_MENUS" != 'no' ]; then

  if [ -d "$install/usr/share/applications" ] && [ -z "$WANTED" ]; then

    mkdir -p $fs/usr/share

    cp -a $install/usr/share/applications $fs/usr/share

  fi

fi

[/c]

Re: marble - to much entries in the menu

Hi Pascal,

I recall about "generic desktops" only in last hour. But now not at home and can't fix the receipt. Sometimes these "hidden rules" makes more harm than good: I already removed unwanted desktop files in $fs, but then these desktop files are copied here again from $install to $fs.

Thank you for fixing this here:
