Package: lintian Version: 2.5.10.2 Severity: wishlist Keywords is a relatively new addition to the desktop entry spec that improves the ability to find apps by typing in related words. GNOME Shell, Unity, and Software Center currently support Keywords. Also, GNOME Shell 3.6 no longer uses the "Comment" field for searching so the discoverability since GNOME 3.4 will likely regress a bit until developers add keywords to their .desktop files.
I'd like to see a lintian test that reports when a package includes a .desktop without Keywords (except for .desktop files that have NoDisplay=true; set). GNOME developers will probably take care of adding keywords for GNOME 3.8 core apps but this should help increase developer awareness for other apps. https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/DesktopFileKeywords http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/ar01s05.html https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-November/msg00066.html Jeremy - -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers raring-updates APT policy: (500, 'raring-updates'), (500, 'raring-security'), (500, 'raring'), (100, 'raring-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
