Missing .desktop file

And BTW: The menu icon would be nice if it is going to be installed from gnome-app-install :)

gnome-app-install automatically includes the available .desktop files in the distribution at each update. Once a .desktop file is available for drscheme, it will be included.

The attached patch include and installs a .desktop file for drscheme. No .desktop is included for mzscheme, and the icon is stored in a legacy location.

Uploaded with attached patch. Thanks Emmet.

Built on all architectures. This missed the most recent gnome-app-install update, but should be included in 0.1.29.

I'm reopening this bug since the .desktop file patch for Dapper has been dropped in Edgy.

Please find attached an updated patch to fix the bug again (same content as before).

uploaded, thanks

Reopening bug since drscheme 1:352-9ubuntu1 on feisty doesn't contain the .desktop file, even though the changelog entry for this version says it does.

The .desktop isn't actually being installed. I'll fix that.

Unfortunately, this failed to build on i386 and amd64. It succeeded on powerpc and sparc, so I've got no idea what's going. Probably the buildds being stupid. I'm looking into it.

drscheme has difficulty bootstrapping. I just succesfully built on AMD64. Ask for the builds to be taken back to recompile. Also, I made a mistake on 352-9ubuntu1: "Original-Maintainer" should be adjusted to "XSBC-Original-Maintainer" in debian/control if you end up uploading a new version.

It builds fine on both i386 and amd64 using every method I know of here,
so it seems to be isolated to the buildds. A recompilation isn't likely
to be useful, as the conditions won't have changed in the past 2 hours.

I made it compliant when I uploaded 352-10ubuntu1 anyway.

For what it's worth, the build succeeds on my amd64 pbuilder, but
fails if I try it again with pkg-create-dbgsym installed. The error
message is the same as on the Ubuntu buildd:

du: `./usr/share/plt/doc/doc-license.txt': Not a directory

Aha! Thankyou, I was wondering if it might have been something to do
with that.

I'll notify one of the buildd admins of the issue, and it should be
resolved in the near future.

Everything is now fine, except for amd64. A rebuild on i386 fixed the issue, I'm hoping the same will hold for amd64.

amd64 has now build successfully.

I can confirm that this bug is once again present on lucid-lynx, or at least the amd64 version. No menu icon appears having installed drscheme from apt, and no relevant .desktop file is present on the system thereafter.

Tristam, please report a new bug about the issue. This bug has been closed for more than three years.

Thanks for the update on this bug. drscheme is just a dummy package now, so future bugs and comments should be filed against the package plt-scheme. I'm marking this bug as "Fix released" since it was fixed in previous versions (when the name was drscheme). However, please see LP: #374283, where the same problem is reported against plt-scheme. I've linked that bug to the Debian bug, and I've attached a patch to add the .desktop file there.
