where does it come from?

It's pretty easy, just make a postgis-gui.desktop file and in the packaging tell it to install to /usr/share/applications/ [do that in debian/packagename.install]. The menus will auto-assemble based on the Categories=; line. See many of the install_*.sh scripts on the osgeo live dvd for examples of what it should look like, or just browse around the /usr/share/applications/*.desktop files. full details on the freedesktop.org site, but they seem to like to keep people on their toes by maintaining a moving target for the spec. (to be fair I'm not sure how much of that is them and how much is due to gnome whims) regards, Hamish _______________________________________________ UbuntuGIS mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu http://trac.osgeo.org/ubuntugis/wiki
