commit 3244969e9a513fb6bc2aeb34b220ba7b9a679586 Author: Mike Perry mikeperry-git@torproject.org Date: Tue Mar 17 15:15:07 2015 -0700

Bug 13375: Allow Linux users to launch TBB from either GUI or shell

Create a .desktop file that can handle relative launch, can be invoked from the shell, and can be relocated to the dock/launcher/desktop after first invocation.

This is some black magic right here. Screw the FreeDesktop.org people for making this so difficult. --- RelativeLink/execdesktop | 14 +++++++++++++ RelativeLink/start-tor-browser | 7 +++++++ RelativeLink/start-tor-browser.desktop | 30 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ gitian/descriptors/linux/gitian-bundle.yml | 2 +- 4 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
