[gentoo-dev] trouble with make_desktop_entry

[Nick Rout]

I am writing an ebuild and wishing to use make_desktop_entry

I have two problems with it:

1. the resulting desktop file is called laby-laby.desktop rather than
just laby.desktop

2. the "Comment" in the desktop file says "Comment=Based on the eutils eclass"

1. I am unable to work out at all, except to say that my frozen-bubble
entry is named similarly (ie frozen-bubble-frozen-bubble.desktop) and is
also created by make_desktop_entry

2. seems to arise from this in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass

[snip]
DESCRIPTION="Based on the ${ECLASS} eclass"
[snip]
echo "[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.9.2
Name=${name}
Type=Application
Comment=${DESCRIPTION}
Exec=${exec}
Path=${path}
Icon=${icon}
Categories=Application;${type};" > "${desktop}"

I would have thought perhaps that DESCRIPTION would have been the same
as the line in the ebuild.

DESCRIPTION="Lost Labyrinth, a rogue like game"

is this a bug?

The line in my ebuild is:

make_desktop_entry laby "Lost Labyrinth" ${PN}.xpm "Game;RolePlaying;"

Thanks for any suggestions. this line appears in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass
