I can build all OBS distros except openSUSE 11.1, but I can build it outside OBS. Therefore, I think it is a bug, but the ancient bug report has zero activity. Any workarounds?

Hi
So update the category via a patch or;


desktop-file-install --delete-original          \
--dir %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications \
--remove-category {YOUR_STUFF}            \
--add--category {YOUR_STUFF} \
%{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop

This is probably worth a read as well

I can remember seeing a webpage with the actual list of categories you
can use, but can’t find it at the moment :frowning:

I already use patches and desktop-file-install, but I don’t know what triggers the error. As far as I know, I am doing everything right. I only see this error on OBS, not on regular OpenSUSE 11.1.

Yeah, I read that 10 times.

I’m trying to change
%suse_update_desktop_file %{name}
to
%suse_update_desktop_file %{name} Utility

That may help

Hi
See the bleachbit.spec file in
<http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Factory:/Contrib/openSUSE_11.1>;


# create root desktop-file and change exec
%__cp %{name}.desktop %{name}-root.desktop

As the author, I would have expected to know that someone else packaged the software. That could explain why the openSUSE download numbers are so low from my site! :slight_smile:

In any case, problem solved. Thanks much

Hi
Ahhh… :slight_smile: How about a SLE11 version then :wink: (although I would link to
it in my own home repository, so I don’t have a whole list of repo’s!)

I would look at getting on the mailing list and point it out as my
understanding from contrib it should wind up in the mainstream.

By the way, there is a package you’d have to download to have the same checks performed as OBS, i can’t remember it right now but there is a package that performs additional check which you need to download to have make the build “compatible” with OBS.
