mtpaint_handbook package is incomplete. Only the slackbuild information is included.

In the interest of time savings, I hand-made a package for inclusion in Light.
Mine is named "mtpaint_handbook-3.30-noarch-1vl60"
If you re-do yours, how about making it "mtpaint_handbook-3.30-noarch-2vl60"? That way the repo will handle them correctly.

I'll ping kc1di and make sure he sees this since he's the packager on this one.

Program runs fine, but any reason for not including a desktop file to generate a menu entry? I know how to do this myself but I guess new users might find it a bit tricky.
Cheers

Just uploaded version 2 which corrects the menu entry should be in testing repro soon
