I see it is waiting on mentors.debian.net since 2010-01-31.

I had a closer look at http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#category-registry>, and checked which categories googleearth and celestia are using, as they are somewhat similar in function to gpredict: googlearth: Application;Network celestia: Astronomy;Education;Science Based on this, I suggest Application, Network, Education, Astronomy and Science is added to the gpredict desktop file. This will make gpredict show up in several places in the menu, making it easier to find, and avoid it showing up in lost+found for those without the extra-xdg-menus package installed. Those with the package installed will still find it in the HamRadio toplevel menu, as well as several other locations. :) The patch is tested and found to be working. diff -ur gpredict-1.1/debian/gpredict.desktop gpredict-1.1-pere/debian/gpredict.desktop --- gpredict-1.1/debian/gpredict.desktop2010-01-31 11:40:42.0 +0100 +++ gpredict-1.1-pere/debian/gpredict.desktop 2010-01-31 11:40:27.0 +0100 @@ -6,4 +6,4 @@ Icon=gpredict.png Terminal=false Type=Application -Categories=HamRadio; +Categories=Application;Network;HamRadio;Education;Astronomy;Science; Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi, http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/menu-policy/ch2.html#s2.1 specifies that "Here is the authoritative list of Debian's menu structure. **Packages must be placed in leaf sections.**" (emphasis mine).

I have no app entries in the App->Network submenu, instead they are under App->Network->Communication, App->Network->Web_Browsing, etc. Same for other submenus. > Based on this, I suggest Application, Network, Education, Astronomy > and Science is added to the gpredict desktop file.

I can't find any reference to this arrangement in DP or maintainer manuals, nor I have installed any package that do this. I carefully check the menu files in my boxes and can't found any app showing up in two places. Anyone can comment on this point, please? (IMHO it's not good to get a bigger or longer menu, so showing several entries for one app is at least questionable on this point.) > find, and avoid it showing up in lost+found for those without the > extra-xdg-menus package installed. Those with the package installed Would be better if we depend on extra-xdg-menus? Thanks, Fer signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You are confusing Debian menu files with desktop files. My proposal is for the desktop files, not for the Debian menu files. KDE show the desktop files directly in the menu and the Debian menu files in a Debian submenu. The rest of your comments seem to all be about the menu file, which I do not propose to change. > Would be better if we depend on extra-xdg-menus? Nope. We want to get rid of the HamRadio and Electronics toplevel menu entries, and having one more package depending on it will make the goal harder to solve.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. Then I think I should apply your patch. I'll be uploading a new package to mentors.debian.net ASAP. Bye, -- Fernando M.

Package: gpredict Version: 0.8.0-2 Severity: important User: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Usertag: debian-edu When testing the Debian Edu desktop in Lenny using Norwegian Bokmål as the language setting , I noticed a 'Lost and found' (Tapt og funnet) menu entry in the KDE K menu. This menu section is used for applications with broken .desktop files. The gpredict package was one of the three packages with an entry there. The entry read 'GNOME Predict'. I'm not sure what is required to solve this, but believe the KDE menu entry should be moved to a more appropriate location.

Thanks Petter. gpredict just uses a menu category of HamRadio, which is one of the xdg desktop specification's secondary categories. It doesn't list any of the primary categories because I don't think any of them are appropriate, but this isn't really policy compliant. There's a package called extra-xdg-menus which provides a suitable menu for HamRadio and also Electronics applications. gpredict might Suggest that package, as a solution to this bug.
