In the last 20 years it did not provide any way to upstream + the changes and translations. The upstream translations got another + 20 years of development. Also Desktop Categories specification was + updated, and the upstream specification now covers all aspects of + former X-SuSE-* Categories extensions. + * As a result, the SUSE desktop menu experience differs from other + vendors. Applications have a different name, different translations, + different placement in the structured menu etc. + * Upstream translations have a wider impact. + * Package maintainers have only a limited control over the contents + visible to users. It is imported during the runtime, and the visible + contents could be different from the contents in the package. + * update-desktop-files is a complicated tool. It attempts to fix + deprecated and obsolete stuff in the desktop files without even + informing the developer that something was wrong and something was + modified. + * It uses a very complicated toolchain that requires access to SUSE + intranet and access to OpenQA VPN. The complete toolchain setup was + never published, so it has even problems with Open Source ideas. + * It mixes SUSE-unique translations with translations that just + duplicate the upstream translation effort. As a result it significantly + increases number of strings to translate and decreases the quality of + the translation. + (jsc#PED-14507) + +------------------------------------------------------------------- ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Other differences: ------------------ ++++++ presage.spec ++++++ --- /var/tmp/diff_new_pack.LNjdCH/_old 2026-01-26 11:05:24.741751658 +0100 +++ /var/tmp/diff_new_pack.LNjdCH/_new 2026-01-26 11:05:24.745751825 +0100 @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ # # spec file for package presage # -# Copyright (c) 2024 SUSE LLC +# Copyright (c) 2026 SUSE LLC and contributors # # All modifications and additions to the file contributed by third parties # remain the property of their copyright owners, unless otherwise agreed @@ -82,7 +82,6 @@ BuildRequires: libcppunit-devel BuildRequires: python3-dbus-python BuildRequires: sqlite3-devel -BuildRequires: update-desktop-files %else BuildRequires: cppunit-devel BuildRequires: dbus-glib-devel @@ -263,9 +262,6 @@ sed -i -e '1 s#/usr/bin/env.*python#/usr/bin/python3#' %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/presage_dbus_* -%suse_update_desktop_file gprompter Utility DesktopUtility -%suse_update_desktop_file pyprompter Utility DesktopUtility - %fdupes %{buildroot}/%{_prefix} %python3_fix_shebang
