Dear colleagues,
I'm quite concerned that `desktop-file-validate` utility (provided by
"desktop-file-utils" package) is checking .desktop files against
outdated specification. On some occasions such "validation" recommend
changes conflicting with the current specification (see more in
#690279).
Since beginning of 2013 I tried to raise concerns about it but got no
reply from current maintainers whatsoever (see #700917).
I think now would be a good time to upload updated package that I
prepared. I'm taking responsibility for the package by adding myself
to Uploaders. Unless there are any objections I'll wait for a week (or
longer) before uploading.
Thanks.
Regards,
Dmitry Smirnov
