Re: Linux Packaging heads up

 

You are correct, Nick.  No changes are needed.  The "make install" step copies the files from linux/launchers into share/applications and the spec file picks them up from there.

The kicad.spec file for Fedora runs desktop-file-install on the desktop files.  It will likely have to change.  I'm running a test build now.  Here is the relevant code from the spec file:

# Desktop integration
for desktopfile in %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications/*.desktop ; do
     desktop-file-install \
     --dir %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/applications \
     --remove-category Development \
     --delete-original \
     ${desktopfile}
done

Mmm, I guess they are also part of the install target in cmake and no real packaging changes are needed a such, right?

    This is a heads up for our Linux packagers that the launcher locations have changed in the master branch.

    You will now find the .desktop launcher files in the build directory, under `resources/linux/launchers/`
