Looks good so far; could you update to 14.0.4 and then I can do a full review?
Thanks.

Comment 4 Michel Lind 2008-06-06 23:04:03 UTC
Only one small problem: desktop-file-install is used without a vendor tag. Could
you make it desktop-file-install --vendor="fedora" ... ?

(the exception is for packages that have their own vendor tags, e.g. KDE, GNOME,
XFCE)

Comment 5 Jason Tibbitts 2008-06-06 23:14:36 UTC
Actually we're trying to reword the guideline about --vendor so that it's clear
just what's supposed to be done with it.  It seems that --vendor=fedora is
rarely the right thing to do.

Check the discussion starting here:
