Package: kicad Version: 0.0.20090216-1 Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertag: debian-edu
This is a followup on bug #567773. See that bug for background information. Creating a new bug as #567773 was about several different topics and I am splitting out each one into separate bugs. At the moment the desktop file for the kicad package uses these categories: Categories=Development;Engineering;Electronics Of these, only the Development category is listed as a official category in <URL: http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html > I believe the Development section do not quite fit the package, and should be changed. The problem is that there is no other main category that quite fit the package, and without a main category as listed in the desktop specification, the entry the kicad menu entry will show up in the Lost+Found submenu in KDE. It might be a good idea to contact the desktop specification maintainers and ask for the specification to be extended with more categories. Looking at similar packages, I notice these categories in use: oregani: Categories=Education;Science;GNOME;GTK;Physics; ksimus: Categories=Education;Science;Electronics;KDE; qucs: Categories=Education;Electronics All these use the Education main category, and this make me believe kicad should do the same. Based on this I suggest to change Development to Education. It might be a good idea to add Science to the list too. Categories=Education;Engineering;Electronics;Science; Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
