Using desktop-file-install in RPM

Question

When using desktop-file-install, where I'm expected to place .desktop file? I have read the documentation but nothing mentioned about the path.

Answer 1

The desktop-file-install man page appears to indicate that without passing a directory at all the defaults will do what you want.

RPM_BUILD_ROOT

This variable is set when building RPM packages. If the --dir option and the DESKTOP_FILE_INSTALL_DIR environment variable are not used, it will automatically be prepended to the default install directory to install the desktop files appropriately when building packages.
