Re: How to properly register a program in KDE/GNOME
Hi Daniel, thanks for your help, but it didn't... help :-( (yet) $ sudo cat /usr/share/applications/freemind.desktop [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=FreeMind Exec=/usr/bin/freemind Terminal=false Icon=FreeMindWindowIcon Type=Application MimeType=application/x-freemind; Categories=Office; GenericName=FreeMind Comment=A free mind mapping tool $ sudo cat /usr/share/mime/packages/freemind.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? mime-info xmlns=http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info; mime-type type=application/x-freemind comment xml:lang=csFreeMind Mapa/comment [...] comment xml:lang=zhFreeMind 心智圖/comment sub-class-of type=text/xml / glob pattern=*.mm/ magic priority=85 match type=string value=lt;map offset=0/ /magic /mime-type /mime-info (you were right, it's an XML format) $ sudo update-mime-database /usr/share/mime (no output) $ xdg-mime query default application/x-freemind (no output) $ xdg-mime query filetype bla.mm text/plain $ xdg-mime query filetype New\ Mindmap.mm text/html (the 2nd file has some HTML embedded) Any further ideas? Isn't there somewhere an official documentation on how it's supposed to work? Should I use xdg-mime install directly to register mime types, and possibly also xdg-icon-resource? Or is there a dh_something function I might have missed? Thanks, Eric PS: I'm on the list, no need to copy me.

I'm quite at the end of my knowledge and I haven't found a documentation that explains it all. I have the following: $ cat /usr/share/applications/freemind.desktop [Desktop Entry] [snip] The Encoding key and the Application category are deprecated. The MimeType line misses the semicolon after the MIME type. JFTR: The icon field should not contain a path nor a file suffix. $ cat /usr/share/mime/packages/freemind.xml ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? mime-info xmlns=http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info; mime-type type=application/x-freemind comment xml:lang=csFreeMind Mapa/comment [...] comment xml:lang=zhFreeMind 心智圖/comment glob pattern=*.mm/ magic priority=65 match type=string value=lt;map offset=0/ /magic /mime-type /mime-info (the magic thing is needed to make the difference with troff files) Is application/x-freemind a subtype of application/octet-stream - some binary format? If not you *must* add a proper sub-class-of element (e.g. of text/plain, application/xml, ...). From the magic it looks like an XML format: sub-class-of type=application/xml/ You can test the result with the tools gvfs-info, kmimetypefinder and xdg-mime. Please check the results and post them if necessary. Regards, Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

RFS: gdisk
Dear mentors, I am looking for a sponsor for my package gdisk. * Package name: gdisk Version : 0.5.0-1 Upstream Author : Rod Smith rodsm...@rodsbooks.com * URL : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ * License : GPL-2 Section : admin It builds these binary packages: gdisk - GPT fdisk text-mode partitioning tool The package appears to be lintian clean. My motivation for maintaining this package is that i have an iMac with gpt partition table and gdisk save me many times when editing MBR (fdisk or parted bugs with GPT). GPT will be (soon ?) the next layout of partition table. Upstream have Debian package built with alien ; i would like to provide Debian standart packages in the main archive instead.

Dear Nicolas, MimeType and Categories are keys that can contain multiple values, and as such should use a semicolon to delimitate them: Some keys can have multiple values. In such a case, the value of the key is specified as a plural: for example, string(s). The multiple values should be separated by a semicolon. Those keys which have several values should have a semicolon as the trailing character. Semicolons in these values need to be escaped using \;. http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.0/ar01s03.html In ‘http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/1.0/ar01s05.html’, MimeType and Categories are listed as containing ‘string(s)’. Accordingly, the tool desktop-file-validate will report an error about the absence of the semicolon.

By the way, have you considered appliying as a DM to upload it independantly? Judging by your changelog, you have a good track record… I hadn't really thought of it. Checkinstall is small and requires little maintainance, and the rest of my packages are team maintained so that it is not usually a problem. I am in the NM process, so this looks like little overhead for a good gain :). Another question I have is the upstream status of checkinstall.

In the worse case, maybe you can consult with the maintainers of the checkinstall packages of the other distributions (the command ‘whohas’ will help you to find them). Not really. The upstream maintainer has been sort of MIA in the past year, but most of the patches in the debian package are already in the upstream git repository (and he usually accepts proposed patches). Although I have not really been involved with upstream so I haven't pushed him to release or anything. -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
