[gentoo-dev] Freedesktop utils in ebuild

[René 'Necoro' Neumann]

Hi list,

I'm currently trying to update an ebuild (x11-misc/zim) to a new version.
The old one uses a patch to disable running "update-desktop-database" and
instead using the fdo-mime_desktop_database_update function.

Now - the new ebuild also wants to call:

- update-mime-database --> disable and use fdo-mime_mime_database_update ?
- xdg-icon-resource install --> let it run? - or disable it (and replace it
by what)?

Would be glad, if someone could clarify the use here :)

- Necoro

yes, because it (re)generates cache file that doesn't belong to any
package we need to run it in postinst. to avoid file-collision.

unsure (as i've neved touched it) but i'd say if it respects DESTDIR and
doesn't have any file-collisions when installing, let it run

plus it will be very likely ME who commits new zim, as usual.. so open
up a bug for the new version & your suggested ebuild.

thanks, Samuli

Seems like it does not ... moved it to post{inst,rm}
