Package: ocaml-interp
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
as result of bug #741573 (i.e. the CTTE resolution on menu systems),
Debian is migrating away from the Debian menu, in favour of the
FreeDesktop/XDG menu.
While the current menu file does not violate Policy ยง9.6, since there
is no desktop file installed as well, IMHO it would be a better idea
to migrate to a desktop menu. Attached there is a Git commit on top
of the current debian/experimental branch to do this conversion.
Thanks,
