Just kill the patches in this case. Really. It's possible the patch still applies, but the issue was fixed in some other way. And if it fixes a real issue, then it's better to know what issue it is. > Also I see we sometimes avoid sending patches for fixing redhatisms > (X-RedHat-*) in desktop files upstream and just patch them on our > side. Same for some other files desktop-file-install complains about. X-RedHat stuff doesn't harm, but it might make sense to remove them upstream and have Fedora add them back. Don't know. If desktop-file-install complains, then there's a bug in the .desktop file (or in desktop-file-install), so file a bug :-) Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
