[Mageia-dev] freedesktop spec and categories

Tue Feb 22 13:34:08 CET 2011

hi,
+porting tuxpaint i've finally found the time to
+fix and old menu issue for that application.
+
+Some low level school teachers i know, complain
+about tuxpaint position -Education/Other menu-
+that is not very intuitive.
+
+Packaging it again for mageia, I've relaized that there's
+Other nowhere into source tarball and spec file. So i start looking 
+at desktop file and found that its categories are Education;Art.
+
+Looking at freedesktop specs[1] i've read Art is related
+to Education so tuxpaint desktop file is right.
+Removing Art -as i did at the moment using desktop-file-install-, 
+tuxpaint is correctly installed into Education menu, so i wonder if
+it is a missing specification implementation for that either in
+Mandriva or in Mageia.
+
+Said that i believe, anyway, that tuxpaint, and tuxpaint-config as well,
+should stay into Education menu as released into cauldron at this moment.
+
+Cheers,
+	Angelo
+
+P.S. misc i've sent upstream the tuxpaint & co. patches i imported...
