No Icon Menu Entry

[jhfhlkjlj]

Binary package hint: beneath-a-steel-sky

There is a blank field for the icon when accessing the game from Applications>Games under GNOME. There should be an icon of sorts for it. Where would one submit such an icon?

I came up with something. Might not work at small sizes, but it's something.

[Christian Dannie Storgaard (cybolic)]

Created an SVG version of the same logo as Chauncellor used - created from scratch, so no worry about copyright infringement.
Packager can decide the license, if not it's GPL 2.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi, Christian. It's been a long time. I don't know my way around debian's mailing lists/packaging circles so I don't know how to properly forward this upstream. I should have jumped on this as soon as you created the excellent icon but for some reason I failed to do so.

Do you know an appropriate mailing list in which I could submit your svg? Thanks

I see that beneath-a-steel-sky 0.0372-4 in Ubuntu Quantal still has a blank default icon.

In order to forward the patch to Debian please take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=beneath-a-steel-sky. The best way would probably be to file a new bug report and attach the patch. Since the Debian Games team is listed as maintainers of this package I believe that should notify them automatically.

[Markus Koschany (apoleon)]

Thanks for reporting this issue and for the excellent svg icon. I will include it in the Debian package under the same BSD-like license as the game itself. The new revision should migrate automatically to Ubuntu in a few months.

This bug was fixed in the package beneath-a-steel-sky - 0.0372-5

---------------
beneath-a-steel-sky (0.0372-5) unstable; urgency=low

  * Team upload.
  * Really switch to package format 3.0 (quilt) and rename the format directory
    to source. Include the skycpt directory in a separate source tarball
    instead of using the old source format 1.0 (diff).
  * debian/control:
    - Add homepage field.
    - Update compatibility level to 9 and require debhelper >= 9.
    - Update Standards-Version to 3.9.4, no changes necessary.
    - Change short description and emphasize that BASS is a point and click
      game. This also fixes lintian warning "description synopsis starts with
      article".
  * beneath-a-steel-sky.desktop: Remove deprecated UTF-8 Encoding key. Thanks
    Pino Toscano for the patch. (Closes: #638997)
  * beneath-a-steel-sky.desktop: Add comment in German and keywords.
  * Rename beneath-a-steel-sky.lintian to beneath-a-steel-sky.lintian-overrides
    and override desktop-command-not-in-package and menu-command-not-in-package
    because BASS is a content package launched by ScummVM.
  * Add longtitle and icon to beneath-a-steel-sky.menu.
  * Update debian/copyright to copyright format 1.0.
  * Add new hicolor and xpm icon. Thanks to Christian Dannie Storgaard.
    (LP: #465264)
  * debian/rules:
    - Fix lintian warning: debian-rules-missing-recommended-target by using dh
      sequencer to simplify the rules file.
  * Add de.po file and translate the sky commands into German.
  * Add German manpage.
