desktop themes in Xfce Live image
by Mukundan Ragavan
Is there any compelling reason to retain older themes in Xfce LIVE iso?
For example, bluebird and albatross are themes that have not had
releases in quite some time now.
Thoughts?

You pretty much answered all the questions. Thanks.

Understood.

How is the list maintained in Fedora? Is there some working group (e.g.
workstation) overseeing this or is it just the shared-mime-info package
maintainer? Or is it Rex as indicated in
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2015-July/212403.html ?

Future of shared-mime-info in Fedora
by Miro Hrončok
Hello Fedorans, Bastien,
I have noticed that the shared-mime-info package was orphaned couple days ago.
Bastien, AFAIK you were the primary point of contact in Fedora and I also see
you are the RHEL 8 default bugzilla assignee.
Considering the following commit:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/commit/6f4947b01
I've disregarded the idea the the package was orphaned by accident.
I also see that GNOME mime types have been moved away from the package (on
rawhide only):
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/shared-mime-info/c/da05922d10
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-desktop3/c/9909d22b
I always considered shared-mime-info an important package, however I don't see
it in comps. Maybe it is no longer that important?
A repoquery reveals ~50 packages that require it including PackageKit, Thunar
(Xfce), some NetworkManager packages, kdelibs (KDE)...
A recursive repoquery yields ~ 6650 packages.
I've taken the orphaned package for now to avoid any disruption (and a totally
unreadable orphans report), but I don't really understand the Fedora package, it
has a manually created source without any comment explaining where is this from:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/shared-mime-info/blob/master/f/mimeapp...
Bastien, could you please give me a hint about this file? Thanks
---------
The package technically has 8 co-maintainers and a sig, but I don't put much
hopes into the crowd there considering they haven't touched the package in years.
Are there any interested Fedora packages that understand mime info better than I do
---------
PS There is an interesting file-ownership problem reported in Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486468 - I plan to discuss this
later on the packaging mailing list as well.
