openbox 3.5.2-0ubuntu1 package actually contains 3.5.0-1

[quequotion]

The openbox package in 13.10's "proposed" section is misnamed / mispackaged.

This is actually openbox 3.5.0-1 according to it's NEWS.Debian file and 3.5.0 according to `openbox --version`

I am aware that this package isn't officially supported yet, but I was hopeful to find an ubuntu-debianized version of 3.5.2 before trying git.

I noticed the package was incorrect because it does not resolve this bug: https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5901

Actual package in 13.10 is 3.5.2 according to the changelog and configure.ac. Be sure to upgrade now that it's in regular repository.

Just inspected and installed 3.5.2-0ubuntu1 from 13.10 repository, same problem.

Updates, inlcuding the .desktop file from the other bug, seem to be missing from the package.

It's possible this goes back to the package in Debian (Sid).

Same problem with newer versions of the package: missing updates, package content does not match suggested software version number.

[Mateusz Łukasik (mati75)]

It's fixed by openbox/3.5.2-3 in saucy.

[quequotion (quequotion)]

No, it wasn't.

Furthermore, I see that in later packages of openbox the .desktop file has been removed completely.

That was not the correct solution to any problem!

This is the file you need:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/openbox/master/view/head:/data/openbox.desktop

[quequotion (quequotion)]

The file made it into the source that saucy supposedly built from:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/openbox/saucy/view/head:/data/openbox.desktop

But the openbox that actually gets packaged, and therefore the .desktop file as well, is 3.5.0.

Here is the .deb on lauchpad:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/152891678/openbox_3.5.2-3_amd64.deb

If you extract this, you will find the old .desktop and openbox 3.5.0 inside.

This is the actual cause of bug 1185502 and bug 1255783.

Please actually check that the package being distributed with ubuntu is being built from the correct source.

[quequotion (quequotion)]

Looking over the build logs of every openbox package since 3.5.0-8, it seems as though the correct source code was used to build all of the 3.5.2 packages, yet they all have the 3.5.0 .desktop or none at all.

There's a patch in the 3.5.2-0ubuntu1 debian packaging, "02_fix_freedesktop_compliance.patch" against "data/gnome-wm-properties/openbox.desktop"

This file should not be packaaged as it is out of date!

I'm not sure why it's even in the source tree (probably just forgotten).

The correct .desktop file is in "data/openbox.desktop"

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package openbox - 3.6.1-1ubuntu2

Did you package the other .desktop file?
