I am working on my 'Atomes' package (non official yet) and I kindly ask for your advise.
I have a question regarding my spec file:
https://github.com/Slookeur/Atomes-GNU/blob/main/atomes.spec
I recently figured out how to handle file associations and creating my custom MIME type.
To do that I created an 'atomes-mime.xml' file:
https://github.com/Slookeur/Atomes-GNU/blob/main/metadata/atomes-mime.xml
that I installed in the '/usr/share/mime/packages/' directory,
and after that I updated the MIME database using:
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
It works just as expected, but this should be obvious to many I guess.
However the first time I tried to build the RPM it failed, because this last command creates
and/or modify a bunch of files in the '/usr/share/mime' and '/usr/share/applications' folders:
/usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
/usr/share/mime/XMLnamespaces
/usr/share/mime/aliases
/usr/share/mime/application/x-apf.xml
/usr/share/mime/application/x-awf.xml
/usr/share/mime/generic-icons
/usr/share/mime/globs
/usr/share/mime/globs2
/usr/share/mime/icons
/usr/share/mime/magic
/usr/share/mime/mime.cache
/usr/share/mime/packages/atomes-mime.xml
/usr/share/mime/subclasses
/usr/share/mime/treemagic
/usr/share/mime/types
/usr/share/mime/version
So I add to correct the spec file to include these files, I did it like this:
%{_datadir}/mime
%{_datadir}/applications
So that all files that my build creates in these folders will be added properly to the RPM.
Now comes my question: some of these files seem to be configuration files, that the 'update-mime-database'
simply updates, so I am not confident in saying that these should be installed by my RPM,
it might just be better to have these files simply updated after the installation, but I do not know how.
I tried to remove the 'update-mime-database' from the 'Makefile.am' (the project uses GNU autotools)
and put it in the '%check' section of the spec file but it does not work (same issue).
So far the RPM builds everywhere (local, Copr, Koji) but I am not sure that it is correct, what do you think ?
Thanks in advance for your advise.
Best regards.
Sébastien
