Walkthrough

The desktop entry file ci/pkg/linux/flatpak/com.alpineclient.AlpineClient.desktop was modified. The Categories field was expanded to include PackageManager in addition to existing categories (e.g., Game, BlocksGame). No other fields (Exec, Icon, Name, Type, Keywords) were changed.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~2 minutes
Single-line metadata change in one file; no logic, build, or runtime impact; minimal verification needed.

Poem

A twitch of whiskers, tap-tap—what’s this?
New tag in my basket, can’t resist!
Categories hopping, neat and snappy—
PackageManager joins the cappy.
I stamp my paw with gentle pride,
One tidy tweak, then off I glide. 🐇✨

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

🧩 Analysis chain

Verify the category choice matches the PR objective.

The PR description states the goal is to add this app to the Flathub "game launcher" category, but the implementation adds PackageManager instead. The PackageManager category typically refers to software package management tools (like apt, dnf, or flatpak managers), not game launchers.

Since Alpine Client appears to be a Minecraft game client/launcher, please verify that PackageManager is the correct category for game launchers on Flathub, or if a different category should be used instead.


🌐 Web query:

What category should game launchers use in Flathub desktop files according to freedesktop.org specifications?

💡 Result:

Use the "LauncherStore" additional category (and include the top‑level "Game" category). [1][2]

Sources:
[1] freedesktop.org — Additional Category Registry (LauncherStore is "a place to browse and install games or a launcher for a game or games").
[2] Flathub / Flatpak docs — desktop file / metainfo guidance: categories are taken from the .desktop file and must follow the freedesktop menu specification.


Replace PackageManager with the LauncherStore category.
In ci/pkg/linux/flatpak/com.alpineclient.AlpineClient.desktop (line 7), update:

-Categories=Game;BlocksGame;PackageManager;
+Categories=Game;BlocksGame;LauncherStore;

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
Categories=Game;BlocksGame;PackageManager;
Categories=Game;BlocksGame;LauncherStore;
🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In ci/pkg/linux/flatpak/com.alpineclient.AlpineClient.desktop around line 7, the
Desktop file uses the PackageManager category but should use the LauncherStore
category; replace PackageManager with LauncherStore in the Categories entry so
the line reads Categories=Game;BlocksGame;LauncherStore; (preserve other
categories and punctuation).
