@barbuk Great!

@kseistrup, yes it's now fixed.

@barbuk Thanks!

In package version 0.2.2-2 the desktop file is installed as:

/usr/share/applications/ferrite_0.2.2.desktop

Should it have been

/usr/share/applications/ferrite.desktop

?

Perhaps it should depend on zlib (which is in core)

Thanks for the feedback. Changed in the new release.

Can you add icons and desktop entries

Yes, done in the new release.

Thanks for packaging this!

Perhaps it should depend on zlib (which is in core), and not necessarily on zlib-ng-compat (which is in extra, and provides zlib) so that people are free to choose the zlib implementation they wish.

Anecdotically: I've had ferrite running on core/zlib, but if I wish to install this package I am forced to use extra/zlib-ng-compat.

Cheers.

Can you add icons and desktop entries found in 'https://github.com/OlaProeis/Ferrite/tree/master/assets/icons/linux'? Thanks.
