Substandard .desktop file (patch attached)

[Stéphane Loeuillet]

Binary package hint: lynx

Lynx .desktop file doesn't respect .desktop specs from fd.o
desktop-file-validate finds those problems :

Encoding=UTF-8 <= should be removed : deprecated
MimeType=text/html <= missing ';' at end of line (a list)

Categories=Application;Network;WebBrowser;ConsoleOnly; <= Application; is deprecated
XClassHintResName=Lynx <= Non-standard extension used by noone AFAIK (should be removed or prefixed with X-)

Which of these patches has to be applied? Can you generate one debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes) and attach it here?

[Stéphane Loeuillet (leroutier)]

Hello. Sorry for attachment spam.

First attachment is the patch
Second one was a mistake
Third one is the resulting patched .desktop file

I know no way of discarding old attachments like in bugzilla
Feel free to remove second and third patches.

First patch is against latest lynx from gutsy

I never did a debdiff but I guess it would be a good way to start
I'll come back to you later today

Could you do it for Hardy? Recipe for doing a debdiff: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff

Stéphane, you can remove an attachment by clicking on it's little "edit" link you'll find on the left "Bug attachments" panel ;).

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Ah, just as a side note, usually unified diffs (created with diff -ruN) are preferred.

Unsubscribing Ubuntu Sponsors for main from this bug for now.

[Nicolai P (nicolaip)]

I'll have a look at this and upload the debdiff.

[Nicolai P (nicolaip)]

Debdiff uploaded.

[Nicolai P (nicolaip)]

Subscribed ubuntu-main-sponsors as the package is in main, not in universe.
Updated debdiff to also correct Maintainer field.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Chris: can you please take a look at it?
