Is XDG_DATA_DIRS necessary? If there's a symlink in Shared pointing to Variables, then apps will find the mime data where they usually look for. > One question that remains is that if /S/V/mime should be a static > directory, i.e. be defined as a standard directory in our hierarchy, or if > it should be dynamically created by a package, and if so, which? I suggest having it created by Shared-Mime-Info, which holds update-mime-database. -- Hisham _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
