attentedo you know when it would be ready? or how it's coming along?14:11

mterrytsdgeos: so is the claim is that the snap icons would load if they remade the packages with current snapcraft?16:14
tsdgeosmterry: either current or "next world amazing"16:17
tsdgeosdidn't really understand tedg's comment16:17

pstolowskimterry, ping17:45
mterrytedg: ^ so if we remake these snaps whose icons aren't loading with the current snapcraft, is the claim that they would have working icons again?  (because current snapcraft does the right thing?)18:32

tedgmterry: They have to not have the paths hardcoded in their desktop files, so just rerunning isn't the answer.19:34
tedgmterry: Some folks have quite literally put the full path in their desktop files.19:34
tedgWhich is really, really wrong.19:34
mterrytedg: ok... But you're saying this is an upstream .desktop packaging bug, not something we need to fix in our snap?19:40
* mterry wants to see a snap do it right, so he can see the icon show up19:40
tedgmterry: Yes19:43
tedgmterry: It's impossible to do right until snapcraft gets support for declarative files.19:44
mterrytedg: do you know of any published snap I could install to see it actually working end to end, just for my own sanity?19:44
mterrybummer...19:44
tedgmterry: Right now you have to put the files in the meta/gui/ directory with crazy paths because they don't get evaluated correctly in any context.19:44
tedgSo, to be clear, I understand why upstreams put absolute paths in. It was the only way to "fix" the bug.19:45
mterrytedg: is there a snapcraft bug to link to here?19:47
tedgmterry: This is the old one, but I'm not sure if it's what they're currently using for planning. bug 158835919:48

mterrytedg: so maybe I should just retarget bug 1639952 to snapcraft?  Let snappy folks worry that side of things19:52
