Description Nalin Dahyabhai 2002-07-23 22:33:38 UTC 
Using desktop-file-install in %install would be simpler if a --root option,
which prepended a specified path to the hard-wired default installation
directory (used when --dir is not specified), could be used.  It'd reduce
confusion, at least for me.

Does --root mean DESTDIR?
Comment 2 Dan Williams 2004-08-16 14:09:51 UTC 
Nalin, ping?
