Package: graphviz Version: 2.42.2-7 Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
graphviz currently provides a Debian menu file with two entries, for the dotty and lefty applications; however: - the Debian menu is deprecated for some years already [1] - none of the items in the menu file have icons - the applications are very niche - there are no desktop counterparts, nor requests for them either in Debian nor upstream Hence, rather than converting them to desktop files, I think it is a better idea to simply drop the old Debian menu file for now. In case there is a demand for those two applications, I think it would be better to ask upstream to provide proper desktop files for them. Attached there is a patch to simply drop the Debian menu file. [1] https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/09/msg00000.html Thanks, -- Pino
