indeed, there is no /usr/share/applications/clustalx.desktop file

Component: Installer => RPM Packages
Source RPM: clustalx-2.1-3.mga1 x86_64 => clustalx

Please test clustalx-2.1-3.1.mga1 from the core/updates_testing.

Keywords: (none) => NEEDINFO

Installed it (x86_64) from Core Updates Testing, 2 problems:

1. When starting, gives me 2 popup windows: "Can't read colprot.xml" and "Can't read coldma.xml", then runs OK. The both files are in /usr/share/clustalx (where they should be as far as I remember). It was not an issue in clustalx-2.1-3.mga1 - it did not give me any warnings upon start (obviously, it found those 2 files).
Clustal manual says:

Clustal X automatically looks for a file called "colprot.xml" for protein sequences or "coldna.xml" for DNA, in the installation directory and then. (Under UNIX, it then looks in your home directory).

2. The KDE launcher entry for Clustal is placed into Sciences/Other now, previously (and I think it was more appropriate), it was in Sciences/Biology.

Thank you.

1- I'll look into it; FWIW, the symlink /usr/bin/clustalx was broken, it didn't work at all...

2- Nothing was changed with respect to the Category, I didn't change it at all, I'll look into that too.

I am a bit confused, there was no /usr/share/applications/clustalx.desktop at all, i.e. it didn't show in the menu in any category... so what application did you see in the menu before?

Please test the next package.

I am sorry, I made a mistake saying that Clustal used to be in the "Biology" section. I created that symlink myself of course.
(It seems to me that it was in Biology in Mandriva, since I used it a lot.)
I'll test the package later today. BTW, does it have the same name, i.e. "clustalx-2.1-3.1.mga1"?

Thank you.

No problem.

No, the release was increased, so it's clustalx-2.1-3.2.mga1.

Now it is OK, no pop-up windows.
I have two duplicate links to this program now - in Science/Biology and Education/Sciences. But if it was the plan - it doesn't do any harm.
Thank you!

Please, make sure you have only on .desktop file:
/usr/share/applications/mageia-clustalx.desktop

Please disregard my previous comment.

The next package clustalx-2.1-3.3.mga1 should fix the categories issue.

Installed clustalx-2.1-3.3.mga1.
Everything works as it should.
Thank you a lot!

Testing of srpm
clustalx-2.1-3.3.mga1.src.rpm

For testing the program, I ran copied the sequence from
http://zhanglab.ccmb.med.umich.edu/FASTA/
into a file, opened culstalx from the menu, and loaded the file.

Has the program been tested on x86-64?
