For some reason that confuses me a bit. The first line after the example says "we're going to talk about --vendor in the context of the menu spec", then the first item says not to use --vendor at all and the second item talks about KDE and --dir.
Plus, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to know if the upstream provides vendor_id.
OK, I updated the draft to include 2 examples, one using --vendor=<vendor_id> the other using --dir=%buildroot%_datadir/applications/<vendor_id> --vendor=""
and included language from the spec describing the difference (hopefully):
------------------- To prevent that a desktop entry from one party inadvertently cancels out the desktop entry from another party because both happen to get the same desktop-file id it is recommended that providers of desktop-files ensure that all desktop-file ids start with a vendor prefix... Please namespace the filename, as in "vendor-foo.desktop", or use a subdirectory of datadir/applications/ so you have "vendor/foo.desktop"... -----------------
