So the spec file you guys have creates a .desktop file, but doesn't do so in the way the packaging guidelines require that it must be done. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#desktop-file-install_usage So, I had the same problem with my first desktop package and read the section immediately preceeding the above section and tried to create it by hand. >From that section: (and emphasis is in the packaging guidelines, I didn't add it): It is not simply enough to just include the .desktop file in the package, one MUST run desktop-file-install OR desktop-file-validate in %install (and have BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils), to help ensure .desktop file safety and spec-compliance. desktop-file-install MUST be used if the package does not install the file or there are changes desired to the .desktop file (such as add/removing categories, etc). -- fedora-docs-list mailing list fedora-docs-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
