Description Michael Schaller 2014-01-11 09:37:01 UTC 
Hi everyone,

Please register the Cinnamon desktop environment [1] in the spec and update desktop-file-utils so that the name 'Cinnamon' can be used in OnlyShowIn= and NotShowIn=.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Michael Schaller

Patch to add Cinnamon as a registered desktop

Supplying patch, if it will help.

Thanks

It needs to be registered first, that's why I assigned the bug to Ryan in the specifications.
Comment 6 Michael Schaller 2014-03-19 19:25:14 UTC 
Can someone please give an update on this bug?

I feel pretty left in the dark why there has been no movement on this bug in 10 weeks... Am I under the naive impression that it should be easy/quick to register a widely used desktop environment with freedesktop.org? If there is some process I'm unaware off and that I'm not following, then please link me to the documentation. Thanks.
Comment 7 Michael Schaller 2014-03-23 09:09:09 UTC 
Vincent, is there someone else who can update the specification?
I don't want to blame Ryan but this bug seems stuck...

patch for menu-spec.xml

We all have very busy lives, with too many things to handle...

Here's a suggested patch for menu-spec.xml. Please review (does order matter?).

I can push it then.
Comment 9 Michael Schaller 2014-03-23 15:59:01 UTC 
David, thank you for taking this on.

I already figured that you're all busy but really all I was asking was some kind of a reply... So "were short on hands; please don't expect a change this quarter" would have been totally acceptable for me. ;-)

Back to the patch. The menu-spec.xml file seems to be in large parts unordered and the patch contains everything we need. So LGTM from my side. ^^
