As pointed out by zmedico in
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201498 you should use
make_desktop_entry if the .desktop file you are installing doesn't have
any extra value like translations.

/usr/portage/sci-mathematics/coq/files/coqide.desktop: warning: value
"Application;Edutainment;Mathematics;" for key "Categories" in group
"Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"

But make_desktop_entry does assign Application.

While we're at it, why not bring those desktop files that are under our
control more inline with the freedesktop standards?

http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apa.html

Speaking for myself, "Edutainment" is a ridiculous category for science
programs and I intend to change the desktop files (for as many sci
programs as I can) to something more acceptable, as well as send patches
upstream.
I'm thinking Science-->Chemistry;Biology;Physics;etc...

(although that doesn't quite fit the freedesktop standards either...)

Thanks for Listening,
je_fro

Where are you quoting "Edutainment" from? I can't find it anywhere on
that page.

If you want to do something that doesn't fit the spec, get the spec
fixed. Looking through that list of main categories, scientific packages
might sorta fit in Education (to teach), Development (libraries and
development tools), Graphics (sci-viz, molecular graphics, etc) or
Office (to get work done), depending on each package's purpose. The
additional categories seem to fit quite well.

Thanks,
Donnie

FWICT, he's referencing the results (the URL of which you snipped but I
reincluded, above), which use Edutainment as a category in a couple
places. It seems most agree that's ridiculous, and he's proposing
something closer to the freedesktop standard instead.
