Package: xplanet Version: 1.3.0-5.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
Debian deprecated the Debian menu 5 years ago [1]; since xplanet ships a menu file, I thought about handling it. My initial idea was to convert the menu file to desktop file; however, I found out that: - running `xplanet` alone does not do much: there is nothing shown on the screen - running `xplanet -window` does show a window with an image of the Earth... assuming that xplanet-images is installed - resizing the shown window does not resize the image, as it is actually tiled - the window has no mouse interaction - looking further, it seems the usual way xplanet is used is launched with a number of ad-hoc parameters for what needs to be shown Hence, a general menu/desktop file is basically useless for users, as there is no way to change the result anyhow. So my proposal is to simply remove the menu file instead; patch attached for it (which is nothing more than `rm debian/menu`).
