⁠Appendix E. Sample spec file for desktop menu package

The following spec file is an example of how you could package a desktop entry (.directory) file and a desktop menu (.menu) file in an RPM package for shipping. Refer to Section 4.8.1.3, “Desktop menu entries for documents” for the structure of these files.

This example assumes a desktop entry file named menu-example.directory, a desktop menu file named menu-example.menu, and a readme file named README are located in a directory named menu-example-0 that is archived as menu-example-0.tgz.

When built, this results in a package named menu-example.
