Description Christoph Wickert 2011-10-25 20:04:32 UTC

Description of problem:
There are a couple of problems with the desktop files of avahi-ui-tools that make them not show up in the Xfce panel (and possibly others).

$ desktop-file-validate /usr/share/applications/avahi-discover.desktop 
/usr/share/applications/avahi-discover.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value "GNOME" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" requires another category to be present among the following categories: GTK

Same for bssh.desktop and bvnc.desktop. To avoid problems like these, use desktop-file-validate or desktop-file-install in the spec (requirement of the packaging guidelines).

Next problem is that "GenericName" is empty in all three files, so people using generic names will just see an icon.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
avahi-ui-tools-0.6.30-3.fc15.x86_64

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:58:56 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
