           Summary: add shared-mime-info package
           Product: buildroot
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P4
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
        ReportedBy: s.neumann at phase-zero.de
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
   Estimated Hours: 0.0


The shared-mime-info package contains the core database of common types and the
update-mime-database command used to extend it.

The attached files and patches add the shared-mime-info package to buildroot.
The only thing that is actually needed in the target is the file mime.cache. In
order to generate that file, shared-mime-info is installed into the
staging-dir. The idea is that other packages might add more mime-info files and
these should be collected in staging-dir. From there the mime.cache file is
created using tools installed in host-dir and copied to target.

shared-mime-info.mk with a minor fix

Here's a new version of shared-mime-info.mk with a minor fix. Now compiles
cleanly from a fresh buildroot snapshot.

I've committed your patches with small modifications (r26235 and r26236). They
build correctly for me, for my limited testing.

However, there's one thing that I'm not sure about. You re-generate the MIME
cache from $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/mime in the POST_INSTALL hook of
shared-mime-info. But what if a Buildroot package adds a file to
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/mime *after* the execution of shared-mime-info's
POST_INSTALL hook ?

If a package adds something in $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/mime, it should
probably depend on shared-mime-info, which will trigger the compilation of
shared-mime-info and the execution of its POST_INSTALL hook before the
compilation of the package.

Am I misunderstanding ? If not, what solution does you see to this problem ?

If a package needs to add mime-types, then it needs to install them in
staging_dir and invoke update-mime-database with the correct paths. In order to
make this work, we probably need to install update-mime-database into host_dir.
It shouldn't be hard to get this working. So far I don't have a need for this
though and without a package that actually installs new mime-types it is
probably not worth to prepare the infrastructure for this.

I suggest that this bug is closed as FIXED.

Ok, that makes sense.

FWIW, we already have update-mime-database in $(HOST_DIR) :

$ file build_arm/host_dir/usr/bin/update-mime-database 
build_arm/host_dir/usr/bin/update-mime-database: ELF 32-bit LSB executable,
Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses
shared libs), not stripped
