I would like to adopt and update desktop-file-utils as it validates
former mime-types now media-types, and does not even support fonts,
issuing errors during setup:
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.fontforge.FontForge.desktop":
"font/otf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.fontforge.FontForge.desktop":
"font/ttf" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.fontforge.FontForge.desktop":
"font/woff" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
Error in file "/usr/share/applications/org.fontforge.FontForge.desktop":
"font/woff2" is an invalid MIME type ("font" is an unregistered media type)
Build has been changed from autotools (no longer supported) to meson.
I would like advice on how to name and where to install the emacs files,
as the Fedora spec (in Cygport comments) desktop-file-utils differs from
our previous name desktop-entry-mode.
Description:
Desktop files describe applications to show in GNOME or KDE menus:
desktop-file-validate checks whether a .desktop file complies with the
specification at http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/;
desktop-file-install installs a .desktop file to the standard directory,
optionally fixing it up in the process.
