| * | Update Desktop Entry file•••This commit adds well-formed values for all keys defined in version 1.5
of the [Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry Specification][1], published on
2020-04-27, adding:
- the ability for KVIrc to be designated by all XDG-compliant Linux
Desktop Environments (GNOME, KDE et al.) as a (default) handler for
irc/irc6/ircs protocol URIs within all installed applications,
- support for the Startup Notification Protocol,
- a context menu entry in DE graphical application launchers for opening
a new session/instance/window of KVIrc when one or more are already in
use, and
- registration of KVIrc as the default handler for the 'text/kvc' and
'text/kvs' Media (MIME) Type definitions already installed by the
several circulating vendor packages for Linux
This effectively upstreams the [patch implemented by Kubuntu][2] on
2009-03-08 and later merged by Debian on 2011-05-07 into the official
Debian kvirc packaging repository to add keywords to the launcher entry
which help users to find the entry when searching for all IRC/Chat apps
installed on their system.
The desktop entry file itself is renamed to
`cmake/net.kvirc.KVIrc.desktop.cmake` in the source repository to comply
with above-referenced DES v1.5, which requires that such files use a
valid "D-Bus well-known name" as their basename (which is also the
"desktop file ID" used many other XDG-compliant interfaces), derived, as
suggested, by appending the mixed-case application name to the reverse
DNS entry of the official homepage. The CMake build configuration is
altered to further append the major version number to the mixed-case
application name prior to installation, as advised by the specification.
