[Kdiff3-user] Change to kdiff3plugin.desktop installation

[Neal B. <ndb...@gm...>]

Hello.  I maintain the kdiff3 package for fedora.  It has been suggested that 
the kdiff3plugin.desktop install be changed as follows:

echo "NoDisplay=true" >> \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop
 desktop-file-install  --vendor="" \
     --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/kde
     --delete-original \
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop

The change I'm suggesting for kdiff3 is the first 2 lines (that is, add the 
NoDisplay=true'.  The desktop-file-install lines are fedora-specific parts of 
the kdiff3.spec file.

Here is the whole message:

I'd recommend instead:
 desktop-file-install  --vendor="" \
     --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop

Or (prefered)
echo "NoDisplay=true" >> \
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop
 desktop-file-install  --vendor="" \
     --dir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applications/kde
     --delete-original \
     $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{_datadir}/applnk/.hidden/kdiff3plugin.desktop

and talk to upstream about making the latter change, so as not to use the
legacy applnk dirs at all.
