Description of problem: After upgrading to F8, I discovered that I couldn't open Revelation files from Nautilus. Revelation's MIME info (located at /usr/share/mime/packages/revelation.xml) only specifies magic patterns with no file name globs. Other packages which match their files using both globs and magic still seem to work by virtue of having the globs (assuming the file is named correctly), but if you rename them, gnomevfs-info can't identify them (e.g. rename an RPM to something that doesn't end in RPM and gnomevfs-info says it's application/octet-stream instead of application/x-rpm) Thunar identifies the files correctly in all cases, which suggests the problem is in gnome-vfs2 and not the MIME database. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-vfs2-2.20.0-3.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gnomevfs-info foo.rpm | grep MIME 2. mv foo.rpm foo 3. gnomevfs-info foo | grep MIME Happens on both x86 and AMD64.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
