Re: installing an icon to the desktop?

[Erik Blankinship <erikb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That covers your bases, gives the user an option, and doesn't violate any standards that I can see. If a standard banning Launcher install re-emerges, you won't have to do major surgery to your spec, and it will degrade gracefully.

Does that satisfy any|everyone?

Isaac, thank you very much for your response!

Now I can get rpmbuild to successfully use rpmbuild withÂxdg-desktop-icon in %install... and in the process puts an icon on my desktop (before even installing the rpm!) ÂI am doing something wrong. ÂAny suggestions?

Here is the relevant part of my spec file:

Source1: %{name}.desktop

BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n)

BuildRequires: Âgettext, python-devel, desktop-file-utils, xdg-utils

...

%install

rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

%{__python} setup.py install -O1 --skip-build --root $RPM_BUILD_ROOT

desktop-file-install --dir=${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_datadir}/applications %{SOURCE1}

xdg-desktop-icon install --novendor %{SOURCE1}
