NAME

dh_desktop - Register .desktop files

SYNOPSIS

dh_desktop [debhelper options]

DESCRIPTION

dh_desktop is a debhelper program that registers .desktop files. Currently this program does not handle installation of the files, though it may do so at a later date. It takes care of adding maintainer script fragments to call update-desktop-database.

Note that since update-desktop-database currently only handles mime types, as an optimisation, desktop files not containing MimeType fields will currently be ignored by dh_desktop.

SEE ALSO

This program is a part of debhelper.
