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: ------------------ ++++++ ibus-cangjie.spec ++++++ --- /var/tmp/diff_new_pack.gRBhsP/_old 2026-01-27 16:12:45.411159187 +0100 +++ /var/tmp/diff_new_pack.gRBhsP/_new 2026-01-27 16:12:45.415159354 +0100 @@ -36,7 +36,6 @@ BuildRequires: python3 >= 3.4 BuildRequires: python3-cangjie >= 1.2 BuildRequires: python3-gobject -BuildRequires: update-desktop-files Requires: ibus Requires: python3 >= 3.4 Requires: python3-cangjie >= 1.2
