Description Rahul Sundaram 2009-06-04 12:25:16 UTC

Description of problem:

PackageKit has the ability to create what is called service packs used for offline software installation. These are basically tar balls 

# file netbeans-fedora-11-i686.servicepack 
netbeans-fedora-11-i686.servicepack: POSIX tar archive

file-roller should recognize and be able to extract files with this extension.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 17:04:46 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2009-06-12 01:49:46 UTC

PackageKit already installs a mimetype for servicepack files, in 
/usr/share/mime/packages/packagekit-servicepack.xml
All you would need to do is make it a subclass of application/x-tar, then things should work.
