Broken update-mime-database due to recent changes

Broken update-mime-database due to recent changes

[Stefan Schmidt]

Hello.

After having some fun digging around in laucher code I got a hint today why
there where misisng icons in my launcher. Raster and Thomas found out that

update-mime-database /usr/share/mime

wasn't run. Doing that by hand and restarting the xserver gave me back all
missing icons.

The breakage came with the new shared-mime-info stuff from poky.
http://git.openembedded.net/?p=openembedded.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ea71e53c9823cda874f03c3705596f996a5ee1c

Removing the postint hook from .inc and just adding it back to 0.51 broke 0.20
and 0.22.

The option to fix this how I see it (personal priority ordered):

1) Put the known working pkg_postinst() back into the 0.20 and 0.22 recipes
2) Make the old versions also work with the build-on-host method
3) Remove all but 0.51 and teach distros to use the new one.

Thoughts?

regards
Stefan Schmidt

Hello.

Seems not to be a topic much people are interested in. :)

I put the postint back into the recipes. Not the inc file as 0.51 does not need
it. Tested and worked fine for me again.

No plan from my side.

For this one shared-mime-info-native_0.51.bb is needed. Sadly this one fails for
me on one machine:

| /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgio-2.0

http://134.169.172.106/~sschmidt/log.do_compile.28587.txt

Therefor I did not bump it for OM yet. People like to investigate are welcome.

Odd, I could swear I did a rebuild from scratch after this date and had the
problem.

And I just tested it again. Build from scratch yesterday, with newest meta data
from this time. Failed again. Same problem.

I may look into this later, but it is rather low prio for me at the moment.
