Hi,

I have noticed that some applications (e.g. Firefox) look for the file 
/etc/mime.types to know what kind of application will be able to open 
their downloads.

The package shared-mime-info provides an update-mime-database, but I 
have not found an application that would generate the /etc/mime.types 
file automatically. I have looked into Ubuntu packages and they use a 
specific program to do that.

Is there a default procedure for the generation of this file in BLFS or 
people in general just get a template from the web?

Regards,
Felipe
