If maintainer verified the generated .menu file and prefer to generate it on build-time, it should be OK because if desktop2menu will suddenly stop producing valid result it will be a legitimate regression bug. Does it make any sense to limit "field of endeavour" by allowing room for regression? Actually this argument of yours applies to licensecheck even more as we know how inaccurate its output can be, even if it's only used for generating hints. I wonder if there are anything you can't deprecate due to possibility that it may stop working one day? ;) Regards, Dmitry. _______________________________________________ devscripts-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devscripts-devel
