Hello, team. In a passed meeting [1] we decide "add desktop and menu files to all team maintained packages". For that we have next action items: * Miriam finds out how we can easily track packages without desktop and menu files. # She already release a script for searching packages which don't desktop and menus files. More info in mail from her with subject "Preliminary list of games without menu or desktop files". * Sicness writes a script to analyse which packages need desktop and menu files But we also committed a idea "Add a new lintian check for our release goal". That can be a better solution than writing scripts because after that we will have truly reports from online lintian DB and we will predict missing files in future. Team. we need to make a decision about that. Let's try to answer on a few questions: * Should we really add a new lintian check? * What priority in lintian output it should have? (info, warning etc) * Based on what documentation or other source we want that? Is this just a our wish or it's written in some of standards or documentations? If it's nowhere written maybe we should to write? Where? * How we will release the idea? Who will write the check and should we add the check to lintian distr? In this case how? File a bug to lintian package? I think yes, file the bug to lintian package is a good case. But before, we must to answer on this questions. Team, what do you think?
