Bug#697693: lintian: Update to latest XDG Menu Spec (include "Science" as main category)
Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.11ubuntu1
Severity: normal
Hi!
Could you please update the lintian checks for desktop files to follow the
latest version of the XDG Menu spec?
Especially that "Science" is not recognised as allowed main category causes
lintian false-positives at time.
So, could you please add "Science" as main category?
See
# http://specifications.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html
#category-registry
for details. This change is implemented in recent KDE and GNOME releases. The
spec was touched in July 2012 to make this change. (and there are possibly
others, but so far I see nothing else which affects lintian)
Kind regards,
Matthias
