Description Christoph Wickert 2011-04-16 15:56:36 UTC

Description of problem:
systemadm lacks an entry in the main menu. This is a violation of the packaging guidelines that state "If a package contains a GUI application, then it needs to also include a properly installed .desktop file. For the purposes of these guidelines, a GUI application is defined as any application which draws an X window and runs from within that window."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-gtk-24-1.fc15

Additional info:
It would be nice to have this fixed until F15 GA because I want to have systemadm replace system-config-services in the LXDE and Xfce Spins. As systemd is a new feature of F15, systemadm should be shown prominently in the menu.

Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2011-04-19 19:13:46 UTC

I am not sure systemadm is good enough yet to show up in menus.

Comment 2 James Laska 2011-04-21 20:02:41 UTC

Discussed at 2011-04-21 blocker review meeting (http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2011-04-21/f15-blocker-review.2011-04-21-17.00.html) ...

AGREED: 697188 - AcceptedNTH - Will accept a tested fix if provided before release

Lennart:  Please note, that NTH (nice-to-have) means that a fix will be accepted through the freeze.  However, you can still choose not to do the change.  The lack of this fix will *not* block the release.

I think it is, no need to be shy. We need a replacement for system-config-services. If we had this in our Spins, it would give systemd even more attention and show how awesome it is.

And this is not just a RFE because the current package violates the packaging guidelines:
"If a package contains a GUI application, then it needs to also include a properly installed .desktop file. For the purposes of these guidelines, a GUI application is defined as any application which draws an X window and runs from within that window."

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 6 Jóhann B. Guðmundsson 2012-02-27 11:36:26 UTC

What's the current status on this?

Removing the RFE status this looks like a more genuine bug to me. 

Per comment 1 having people actually seeing systemadm might motivate someone to work on it and improve the situation that is if still not "presentable" to end users...

Comment 7 Michal Schmidt 2012-02-27 14:22:08 UTC

We won't add the desktop entry to the current package, but we'll split systemadm into a separate package, where the missing *.desktop entry is currently a blocker for the review request.
