I got in touch with the Debian maintainer and upstream, and submitted the changes to both when relevant : - the displayed name change (note that the package name remains the same) is documented in the changelog, see "- fix displayed name, which upstream refers as Tux Typing" and check the project page - Tux Typing is the name of the program (we don't display oowriter in the menus for the same reason); - I didn't create a debdiff for the sole purpose of fixing EOL spaces, it's merely a bonus since I hads to edit debian/rules anyway.
The debian -4 revision doesn't address all the changes from this debdiff. The icon is still put in an incorrect location, the path to icon in the .desktop file doesn't follow freedesktop guidelines, the displayed name isn't the name of the application (+ I also didn't try Debian's -4 package in Jaunty, while I tried this one in i386/amd64 Jaunty, and amd64 Intrepid). Considering the Ubuntu package still needs a rather ugly merge (conflicting translations, some of them accepted by upstream in newer versions, plus added line for Ubuntu in the .desktop file) it might not be a bad idea to sit this merge while Debian maintainer waits for Lenny to be out, then just merge 1.7.3+ from Debian (with only a line to add in the desktop file, no other Ubuntu-specific changes anymore) since upstream has already merged the changes in this debdiff (plus other changes, since the French .po file was messed up), whether it comes before or after Jaunty is out. In the meantime why not fix these bugs already? I'll file a bug in Debian if I notice the path for the icon isn't changed in 1.7.3+ versions, but for the moment, with the maintainer already aware of the problem and upstream now having a compliant .desktop file in their tarballs, this shouldn't be necessary (no path for icon in upstream desktop file = icon put in the right location by the packager). -- no application menu entry https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293397 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
