We have timed this?
In theory, I can install this icewm-xdgmenu by default, have it run
@post, and let the users regenerate the menus manually - but then I
would most likely get a lot of "why-isn't-program-X-in-my-menu" bug
reports.
Every properly packaged program (MUST in Fedora packaging guidelines)
would have a .desktop file and the program would show up as defined by
xdg spec. This is what we should support out of the box regardless of
the desktop environment. If the programs don't show up on the menu
automatically, wouldn't that indicate a packaging bug?
It would have been nice if I had an apt-like "suggest" feature built
into yum/rpm/etc.
Suggest is probably going to rpm.org upstream soon and has been patched
by various distros for a while now. However it can be a pain for
automated installations (do you install soft deps or not?), QA (test
with and without the optional dependencies) and should be used very
carefully.
