Bug#237258: Please use KDE specific menu-method name
Package: kdelibs-bin
Version: 4:3.2.1-1
Severity: normal
Hello KDE maintainers,
I really appreciate your effort of implementing a freedesktop menu layer
on tope of Debian menu, especially since KDE is not the only menu-manager
to use freedesktop menu, so this work can be reused for e.g.
GNOME.
Do you have plan about that ?
Currently though, I feel that naming the KDE menu-methods names
freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-dirs, freedesktop-desktop-entry-spec-apps
are inappropriate, since they are shipped in kdelibs-bin and will not
be available for other freedesktop menu system if KDE is not
installed, so I woulkd ask you to rename then to something keyed to KDE.
menu manual recommend to use <package> or <package>-<ext> if an
extension is neccessary.
Of course, having those menu method in a package depended by all
freedesktop menu system is probably a better long term goal, but
that has yet to happen.
Cheers,

Imagine a large red swirl here.
