# dh\_desktop(1)

deprecated no-op

## NAME

dh\_desktop - deprecated no-op

## SYNOPSIS

**dh\_desktop** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**dh\_desktop** was a debhelper program that registers *.desktop* files. However, it no longer does anything, and is now deprecated.

If a package ships *desktop* files, they just need to be installed in the correct location (*/usr/share/applications*) and they will be registered by the appropriate tools for the corresponding desktop environments.

## SEE ALSO

debhelper

This program is a part of debhelper.
