SUSE specific categories

In addition, there are also some SUSE-specific categories that are not currently part of the specification. Those categories must be prefixed by "X-SuSE-". However, the prefix is not mentioned in the lists below because the situation is evolving and the categories are becoming part of the specification. The %suse_update_desktop_file macro adds the prefix where needed.

Some of the categories were renamed in the past. The obsolete names are mentioned in the lists below. They are automatically renamed by the %suse_update_desktop_file macro.

There is no strict hierarchy in the categories. You can list as many categories and subcategories as you want, using ; as a seperator. E.g. if your package is a printing utility, a text editor utility, and helps developing documentation, you could say Categories=Development;Utility;Documentation;Printing;TextEditor
