Replacing Mandriva -> Mageia in user-visible text makes sense, but what
exactly is the MIME type used for?
For opening files. It's linked through x-mga-exec for *.bundle files.
If the underlying data format hasn't
changed (whatever it is), then this isn't something that should really be
modified, any more than renaming image/vnd.microsoft.icon to something
else.
If you don't know what it is used for why are you so opposed? We have
our own names and suffixes, so I don't why you are against. For exactly
the same reason we dropped X-Mandriva-* in favor of X-Mageia in .desktop
files.
AFAIR, it used to be for long-dead Kiosk project, several years ago
(Kiosk was declared a dead project by the end of 2006). .bundle files
(downloaded through http) were containing special instructions to
trigger specific urpmi behaviour (adding a media, installing RPMs from
this media). It was not used since.
I'm in favor of removing all unneeded parts from mgaonline. There were
many parts related to megapacks, server editions, club membership. If
the .bundle is unused then it too can be removed.
