For SuSE it is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=254654 I already removed "Application" from all SuSE patches and spec files (i. e. places where SuSE explicitly added it). I plan to reopen it after a year or so and patch remaining applications, where upstream did not fix it. It would be enough to make this error fatal in desktop-file-validate. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
