I was wanting to get people's opinion, anybody against packaging
$pkgname.desktop and icon for packages or would it be better to just
package the app.


I tend to just package the app and that is it, but I thought I'd get
others opinion on this.

Thanks for the reply, I figured it may be better just to do the app, but
also wondered if it would be good in case it gets moved upstream.

You can provide them if you want, but it is always better to get them
included upstream.

Generally, I try to use included .desktop files and icons. If none
are included and it is a purely desktop app, then I'll include my
own (after sending them upstream).

Alot of the apps I have been working with doesn't have .desktop files
