[QGIS-Developer] Different QGIS icons and desktop files for LTR and stable?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

In the Flatpak/Linux packaging world I'm trying to convince people to distribute 2 different QGIS versions:
Stable: org.qgis.qgis
and LTR:  org.qgis.qgis.ltr

In one of the discussions people were suggesting to create 2 desktop files, AND 2 different icons, so people could install them next to each other and could distinguish the versions based on the icon.
I think that would be usefull for other OS's too?
Anybody idea's for this (just a green LTR in it?) or time?

When trying to 'create' the LTR version [1] I stumbled upon the script and template which create the desktop files.
Anybody has knowledge where in the build process we could put some flag, to either create a LTR-desktop file vs a 'stable' desktop file (including nice icon ;-) )?
I do not even know how to call this script (via Make ?) to create the normal desktop file.

And yes, I know there are some shortcomings on the Flatpak, but as a user in a very constraint environment I fully depend on this... So that's why :-)

Regards,

Richard Duivenoorde
