Hi,
I got the below bug report, and I'm a bit hesitating: on one side I understand the wish from the requester, and it would be a useful extension of the package; on the other hand, I already use update-menus and update-mime to manipulate exactly the same kind of information. Moreover the two utilities are integrated into the debian package system through dh_installmenu and dh_installmime.
Wouldn't it be a more generic solution if these utilities would actually take care of these "details"?
So, what's your opinion and what's the best way to address this?
I would tend to start a discussion on debian-devel and/or forward the bug to debhelper.
Thanks, Eric

Package: freemind Version: 0.7.1-6 Severity: wishlist
Hi and thanks for bringing freemind into Debian, the only useful Java program I know... ;-)
It would be nice if you would integrate freemind with the freedesktop.org mime standard, i.e. register a mime type for freemind's mind maps and register freemind itself as handler. This needs two steps, basically:
Install the attached freemind.desktop into /usr/share/applications
and freemind.xml into /usr/share/mime/packages
From postinst, you need to run (if they exist)
'/usr/bin/update-desktop-database' and '/usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime' .
After that, clicking a .mm file in nautilus or konqueror should open them with freemind, and freemind itself should appear in the Office menu category.
To have a menu icon, I have extracted FreeMindWindowIcon.png from freemind.jar, converted it to xpm and copied the result to /usr/share/pixmaps.
Thanks,
Johannes
