Description Milos Malik 2010-05-21 08:20:36 UTC 
Description of problem:
Some .h files are not correctly recognized by file. I believe it's a regression because file-5.03-12.el6 recognizes them correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
file-5.04-4.el6.i686
glib2-devel-2.22.5-2.el6.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# rpm -ql glib2-devel | grep '\.h$' | xargs file | grep exported
/usr/include/gio-unix-2.0/gio/gunixmounts.h:          exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gappinfo.h:                 exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gfile.h:                    exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gfileattribute.h:           exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gicon.h:                    exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gsocketaddressenumerator.h: exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gio/gsocketconnectable.h:       exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gclosure.h:             exported SGML document text
/usr/include/glib-2.0/gobject/gtypemodule.h:          exported SGML document text

Fix for regressions

Attached patch fixes regressions in file-5.0.4 which are causing described problem. It basically removes excessive HTML/SGML "magic patterns".

Commited to CVS, fixed in version file-5.04-5.el6.
