However, when I use the 2.10 download, it seems to insist that jars are zips. I installed the 2.10 download in ~/.local/lib, have a link to it in ~/.local/bin, and have ~/.local/bin in the PATH. > > I can't figure out where each are getting their MIME info or otherwise figure out what's going on. Help? 2.5 used a 2005 implementation of the XDG MIME database, 2.10 uses a 2007 implementation. There appears to be a bug in the new code: * application/x-java-archive has an alias application/x-jar * the glob matching returns *both* type names * the magic matching fails to match the application/x-java-archive because the 0xCAFE match might not be in the correct place * the magic matches a Zip file, because it is. It looks like the XDG code needs either an update or a bug fix. -- Stephen Watson http://www.kerofin.demon.co.uk/ If you read this on a mailing list, send any reply back to the list and not to me.
