Providing Kali specific desktop files
|
|

-------------------------------------
|
|

|
|
4 |
You can add as many desktop files as you want in the desktop-files
|
|
5 |
sub-directory. Each desktop file must have an entry "X-Kali-Package=foo"
|
|
6 |
where foo is the name of the binary package that is associated to this
|
|
7 |
desktop file.
|
|
8 |
|
|
9 |
Those desktop files will be installed in /usr/share/applications
|
|
10 |
by update-kali-menu as soon as the corresponding package is installed. And
|
|
11 |
they will be removed afer the corresponding package has been removed.
|
|
12 |
|
|
13 |
If you want to override an existing desktop file instead of adding a new
|
|
14 |
one, make sure to reuse the same filename. When kali-menu detects the
|
|
15 |
conflict, it will transparently use dpkg-divert to move away the official
|
|
16 |
desktop file and put the Kali one in place.
|
|
17 |
|
|
18 |
It's possible to remove/hide an existing desktop file, by overriding it and
|
|
19 |
adding "NoDisplay=true" to the overridden desktop file.

* Embed a mechanism to provide and activate desktop files on installation of
|
| 3 | 3 |
specific Debian packages. This enables us to provide our own desktop file
|
| 4 | 4 |
without modifying the corresponding source package.
