From Fedora Project Wiki
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/1077
On F19+ (and not on earlier fedoras), desktop files need to be changed to not be installed with a vendor prefix.
On rawhide: repoquery --whatprovides \*/fedora-\*.desktop --qf '%{name}'| sort| uniq| wc -l shows 619 binary packages with problems.
February 18: Down to 358 binary packages. Way to go!
February 22: Down to 328 binary packages
February 24: Down to 282 binary packages. Over half way done!
Porting notes
Some maintainers like to use the same spec file for all releases. To accommodate that you can use conditionals to make the spec use --vendor fedora on earlier releases and remove the --vendor for F19+. The simplest form looks something like this:
desktop-file-install \
%if 0%{?fedora} < 19
--vendor fedora \
%endif
%{name}.desktop
To be even more accommodating to maintainers, you can try to make your conditionals aware of potential EPEL builds as well. That looks like this:
# --vendor was not previously used in EPEL/RHEL builds or there aren't currently EPEL builds:
desktop-file-install \
%if 0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} < 19
--vendor fedora \
%endif
%{name}.desktop
# If --vendor was previously used in EPEL/RHEL builds
desktop-file-install \
%if (0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} < 19) || (0%{?rhel} && 0%{?rhel} < 7)
--vendor fedora \
%endif
%{name}.desktop
In addition to modifying the desktop-file-install line, you probably also have to modify the %files section to handle desktop files with or without the fedora- prefix. Some examples:
%files
# Use a wildcard
- %{_datadir}/applications/fedora-%{name}.desktop
+ %{_datadir}/applications/*%{name}.desktop
# Use a conditional
+ %if 0%{?fedora} && 0%{?fedora} < 19
%{_datadir}/applications/fedora-%{name}.desktop
+ %else
+ %{_datadir}/applications/%{name}.desktop
+ %endif
