Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
0001-Install-help-files-under-usr-share-instead-of-usr-bi.patch Install help files under /usr/share instead of /usr/bin
The qmake project previously installed the bundled help resources into
`$$PREFIX/help`, which results in a `help/` subdirectory being
created under /usr/bin when packaged. This violates the Filesystem
Hierarchy Standard and triggers Lintian's "subdir-in-usr-bin" error.

Update the help installation target to use
`$$PREFIX/share/savvycan/help` instead, placing the help files under
/usr/share to match Debian policy and avoid polluting /usr/bin with
non-executable content.

No functional change to the application behaviour - only the install
location of help resources is adjusted.

0002-Drop-MimeType-from-SavvyCAN-desktop-file.patch Drop MimeType from SavvyCAN desktop file
The SavvyCAN desktop entry declares one or more MIME types but the
application does not currently support opening files passed as a
command line argument.

This could mislead desktop environments into offering SavvyCAN as a
handler for those file types.

Remove the MimeType field from SavvyCAN.desktop so that the desktop
entry accurately reflects the application's capabilities.

This mismatch also triggers a lintian warning in Debian:
(`desktop-mime-but-no-exec-code`)
