exec switch not working

[aytekinar]

Hi,

gendesk --exec=/path/to/alternative/binary PKGBUILD does not seem to care about the alternative binary. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Hi, thanks for reporting.

Yes, when using a PKGBUILD the flags that could have been specified in the PKGBUILD are ignored.

The solution is to only use a PKGBUILD or flags. I should document this.

I changed the implementation so that flags override the values from the PKGBUILD instead.

Thank you for implementing the override feature. This is very important because I believe that PKGBUILD can not always provide an Exec file properly --- at least, I had trouble obtaining one when writing a VCS-based package for myself (my solution was seding the end result).

Cheers!

gendesk 1.0.4 is now out. It includes this enhancement.

I have tried it, and now, it is working as I expect it to run. Thank you once more for your time!

Glad it works now. Thanks for reporting and for testing.
