Icon problem

English Open Build Service (OBS)
#1

Hi all,
I’m writing .spec file now and I have problem. In src package, author prepared .desktop file. Problem is that he wrote “Icon=computer”. There is no problem using this file, most distros have computer.png icon. My suse (11.1) takes icon from oxygen theme, but problem is with build sevice:

...]
WARNING: '/usr/lib/rpm/brp-desktop.data/suse-screensavers.menu' does not exist
WARNING: '/usr/lib/rpm/brp-desktop.data/preferences-gnome.menu' does not exist

error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30428 (%install)


RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.30428 (%install)

What can I do with this? I appreciate any help.

Hi
Either create a patch file to add the GenericName= in the desktop file,
else update in the spec file with -G option, see here;

Ok, there is no warning regarding GenericName, but building fails on icon error. So what to do? Add icons to package or add requires to install theme with computer.png?

Hi
Are there no icons at all with the source?

Yes, there are no icons. I guess that author thinks that “computer” icon is in most themes.

Hi
looks like the author only did a manual install… If you find an icon
and bz2 it up an add a SOURCE1 to your spec file, then after the first
%setup run tar -xj %{SOURCE1} and install from there.
