Description Barry Jackson 2012-09-19 20:14:23 CEST

Description of problem:
zoneminder and munin do not show in rpmdrake unless all:all is set.

I appreciate that these are technically servers, but they do have GUIs accessed using a browser, which in my opinion makes them valid GUI applications.

I have only recently realized that this is why some people could not find zoneminder in the repositories.

Strangely webmin does show as a GUI application despite working in the same way as the two above.

I can't yet figure out why :\

you have to add a .desktop file in your spec as it look on that: 

http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/rpmdrake/trunk/Makefile?revision=5495&view=markup

gui.lst:
	LC_COLLATE=C; ( echo -e "cedega-mandriva\npicasa\nVariCAD_2009-en\nVariCAD_View_2009-en\nVMware-Player" ; \
	urpmf "/(opt/kde[43]|usr)/share/((applnk|applications(|/kde)|apps/kicker/applets)/|kde4/services/plasma-applet).*.desktop" |sed -e 's!:.*!!') \
	 | sort | uniq > gui.lst

http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/rpmdrake/trunk/gui.lst?view=markup

(in my opinion a webinterface is not a gui but well :) )

Thanks for pointing me to the code.

Not really possible. I think these two should be exceptions, hardcoded like VariCAD and picasa.

I don't really see why the mechanism of displaying the GUI should matter, a GUI is a GUI whether rendered directly or via a browser. ;)

Users certainly expect to see these applications under "with GUI"

Webmin is identical in that respect - the difference is that the url is fixed and can be hardcoded into a .desktop file, similarly with gnuradio-doc which I provided with a .desktop that opens the HTML docs with the default browser.

I disagree, those should be searched along other web packages
