+1 I'm in favor, but ship it as mimeapps.list to comply with modern related standards, see: http://standards.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-1.0.html#file Proposal: ship a generic/default mimeapps.list initially based on content of gnome-mimeapps.list I'm volunteering to maintain it if/when decisions are made to stray from gnome-mimeapps.list at all. -- Rex -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
