The installation of Libreoffice 3.4.4 still does not set the necessary

There is a bug report about this since November 2010.

What is required to make this part of the 3.5 release ?
First - I'd try a daily build:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/
to see if it works in master. If no, probably you have to dig around
the mimetype registration:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/mimetypes
and other desktop files:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/menus
Interestingly I see the .fod* file types there, see eg.:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/mimetypes/oasis-text-flat-xml.desktop
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/sysui/desktop/menus/writer.desktop
Can you check if they are installed, used, etc.?
On 3.5RC2 the former is not installed, the later is installed fine. But I
am not sure wether I added the relations myself, or not.
So I just tested on a clean RHEL6:
3.4.4 -> Does not work
3.4.5 -> Does not work
3.5RC2 -> Does not work
The default relation is firefox (I guess because it is deemed an XML
file), other associations are: gedit, Google Chrome en gvim :-/
On LibO 3.4 I installed the desktop-integration RPM for redhat, for LibO
3.5 this was merged with the freedesktop RPM, but still does not make a
difference :-( The RPM does execute update-desktop-database and
update-mime-database, but the associations are not there.
It's obvious that the mimetypes are missing, the RPM does install
/usr/share/mime/packages/libreoffice3.5.xml, but it does not include the
flat-xml or .fod? mimetypes :-(
