 |
|
I've write this working personal ebuild for OpenBoard, but I'm not able to add desktop files to it.
inside the source code, I find this code in ./release_scripts/linux/package.sh:
| Code: |
xdg-desktop-menu install --novendor /usr/share/applications/${APPLICATION_CODE}.desktop
xdg-mime install --mode system /$APPLICATION_PATH/$APPLICATION_CODE/etc/openboard-ubz.xml
xdg-mime default /usr/share/applications/${APPLICATION_CODE}.desktop application/ubz
|
where should I add these instructions in my ebuild?
is there a way to apply some eclass resource to make all the work?

Search for make_desktop_entry in
And for a misplaced one, see this commit. |

Desktop file already exists in package? if yes you can just move the file in correct path

thank you.
at the end I solved to use make_desktop_entry to make the desktop file (it doesn't exist in the original package) and xdg.eclass to update mime database.
I'm not find a way to emulate the command xdg-mime default /usr/share/applications/${APPLICATION_CODE}.desktop application/ubz (suggested in the source code for the ubuntu package).
I think it should be needed to pair the application/ubz mime type to the new desktop file.
however, from man:
| man xdg-mime wrote: | The default option is for use inside a desktop session only. It is not recommended to use xdg-mime default as root.
|
indeed, using strace, you can observe that the xdg-mime default command opens the /root/.config/mimeapps.list, which is unuseful to perfrom any action at system level and does not touch anything in /usr/share/mime/.
is there a way to set a particular desktop file as default for some mimetype on the whole system?

You might want to compare with the example in https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Firefox#XDG_integration. See the difference? |

yes.
but the command in the wiki is sent by user.
I want to set the same think in the ebuild for all users in my system.
in my opinion (based on man), xdg-mime cannot be used in such a way.

A am trying to run a version 1.5, but a I had several issues with qt, for example, QtWebKit does not is in the package dependecy of your ebuild. I started to build a qt enviorment for OpenBoard 1.5, if you alreay had a ebuild for this version, can you upgrade it on github?
