Actually,no one remembers why --vendor was added in the first place. It's a bad idea, and I made it optional a few desktop-file-utils releases ago. One reason it's a bad idea is because it makes our desktop files have a different name than the upstream desktop files. Any code that needs the name of the desktop file needs to be patched to use our name. It's just broken. I would remove --vendor for new rawhide packages completely. If desktop-file-install is too old to not have vendor at all, then --vendor "" or --vendor the-name-of-the-file-without-.desktop is right. --Ray -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
