I just learned in a package review about the requirement to update the
icon cache:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#Icon_Cache
I'm checking my other packages that have icons. I discovered that one
of my packages installs its icon into /usr/share/pixmap, rather than
under /usr/share/icons/<something>. This raises two questions:
1) Is putting the icon into /usr/share/pixmap OK? I think I copied
this from another package, and certainly there are other applications
that have their icons there. If putting the icon into /usr/share/pixmap
isn't the best practice, how do I know which subdir of /usr/share/icons
to use? Is there a document that defines the purpose or requirements
for the various subdirs?
2) If it is OK to put the icon into /usr/share/pixmap, do I still need
to update the icon cache? As I recall, I did have a great deal of
hassle with the icon when I was creating this package, probably due to
not updating the cache. The instructions on the page linked above only
describe this for subdirs of /usr/share/icons, though perhaps the same
script would be applicable.
Thanks!
Eric
