Description Mamoru TASAKA 2007-06-13 04:05:25 UTC

Description of problem:
It seems that 0.13 version of desktop-file-utils does not
accept the entry some "Version=foo" in desktop files

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
desktop-file-utils-0.13-1.fc8
gresistor-0.0.1-9.fc7


How reproducible:
100%
  
Actual results:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /usr/share/applications/fedora-gresistor.desktop 
[Desktop Entry]
Version=0.1.2
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=gResistor
Comment=Resistor color code calculator
Icon=gresistor.png
Exec=/usr/bin/gresistor
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=application/x-glade;
Categories=Education;Science;X-Fedora;Engineering;
Name[ro]=gResistor
Comment[ro]=Calculator pentru formule electrice
Name[ro_RO]=gResistor
X-Desktop-File-Install-Version=0.12
[root@localhost ~]# desktop-file-validate
/usr/share/applications/fedora-gresistor.desktop 
/usr/share/applications/fedora-gresistor.desktop: error: value "0.1.2" for key
"Version" in group "Desktop Entry" is not a known version
/usr/share/applications/fedora-gresistor.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in
group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated

Expected results:
0.12 accepted this.

Additional info:
I found this on reviewing review request mrxvt (223422)
mrxvt 0.5.2-6 has the desktop:
---------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Version=0.5.2
Name=mrxvt
GenericName=Terminal Emulator
Comment=none
Icon=mrxvt.png
Exec=/usr/bin/mrxvt
Categories=System;Emulator;
--------------------------------------
However, now desktop-file-utils 0.13-1 does not accept this.
--------------------------------------
+ desktop-file-install --vendor=fedora
--dir=/var/tmp/mrxvt-0.5.2-6.fc8-root-mockbuild/usr/share/applications
/builddir/build/SOURCES/mrxvt.desktop
/var/tmp/mrxvt-0.5.2-6.fc8-root-mockbuild/usr/share/applications/fedora-mrxvt.desktop:
error: value "0.5.2" for key "Version" in group "Desktop Entry" is not a known
version
desktop-file-install created an invalid desktop file!

Another example is review request bug 243763

Comment 2 Jochen Schmitt 2007-06-14 20:40:49 UTC

Thsi bug may be closed, becouse the reported issue is, that the meaning of the
version field was misinterpreted.

The version field refer to the version of of desktop entry specification which
should be fullfill be the desktop file. That means this field has nothing to do
with the version of the application on which the desktopfile refers.

Okay. I re-read the following and I found that I misunderstood
Version info. Thank you.
