Description of problem: The shipped desktop file in Fedora 23 does not match upstream. Upstream has keywords (and different descriptions) compared to what's in Fedora: http://git.lyx.org/?p=lyx.git;a=blob_plain;f=lib/lyx.desktop.in;hb=HEAD This means that lyx does not show up high in the search results in gnome-software. Is there a good reason lyx-common ships a different file? Thanks.
Following Richard's report I found that the lyx.desktop was introduced to lyx in 2011: http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/40386/lyxsvn and that we still install the lyx.desktop that we carry. Rex is there any further reason to provide our lyx.desktop or can we remove it? I intend to create a copr for lyx 2.2 (that is already in alpha testing) and this could be one of the first changes. :-) I expect lyx 2.1.5 to be released in the next couple of months and so this change could also go there.
Last I looked, the upstream .desktop file was... pretty bad, examples like: bad/missing MimeTypes, Icon, Categories keys for starters. Completely replacing it was easier than patching. My bad for not pushing that upstream. Looking closer now, it does look like upstream's is at least as good now, so we should certainly use that moving forward.
