Impact ------ Cinnamon (and the less popular EDE and LXQt) desktops are not recognized by desktop-file-validate in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS or 14.04 LTS. This is a problem because the very popular Travis service for continuous integration (CI) on platforms like Github still uses 12.04 LTS. Travis does not offer a 16.04 platform and the 14.04 platform is still only in beta. This caused this pull request to fail its CI check: https://travis-ci.org/zdohnal/system-config-printer/builds/222023750 https://github.com/zdohnal/system-config-printer/pull/41 Test Case --------- 1. Save the following lines in a file named calc.desktop [Desktop Entry] Name=Calculator Exec=gnome-calculator Icon=accessories-calculator Type=Application OnlyShowIn=Cinnamon;LXQt;EDE; Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Calculator; 2. Run desktop-file-validate calc.desktop The command should complete with no error message. A failure would look something like: calc.desktop: error: value "Cinnamon;LXQt;EDE;" for key "OnlyShowIn" in group "Desktop Entry" contains an unregistered value "Cinnamon"; values extending the format should start with "X-" Regression Potential --------------------- This only adds a few entries to the list of registered desktop environments. This change is backported from desktop-file-utils 0.23 which is in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
