Description of problem: The pitivi RPM doesn't include any of the necessary %postinstall scriptlets to update the desktop or MIME databases, after installing related files. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pitivi-0.13.1-1.2.fc11.noarch How reproducible: Install pitivi from RPM package (via any method) Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: File associations are not activated, .xptv files are still treated as text/plain Expected results: .xptv files are associated with the pitivi application Additional info: Per http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ScriptletSnippets#desktop-database the pitivi RPM should include both of the following scriptlet sets: ---------------- %post update-desktop-database &> /dev/null || : %postun update-desktop-database &> /dev/null || : ---------------- (due to installing a desktop entry with a MimeType= key) ---------------- %post update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime &> /dev/null || : %postun update-mime-database %{_datadir}/mime &> /dev/null || : --------------- (due to installing %{_datadir}/mime/packages/pitivi.xml)
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '11'. 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 11'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 11 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
With the currently-installed pitivi on my F12 system: [---@---]% rpm -q pitivi pitivi-0.13.3-3.fc12.noarch [---@---]% rpm -q --scripts pitivi [---@---]% Against the latest rawhide build: [---@---]% rpm -q --scripts -p ./pitivi-0.13.4-2.fc14.noarch.rpm postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): update-desktop-database &> /dev/null || : update-mime-database /usr/share/mime &> /dev/null || : postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): update-desktop-database &> /dev/null || : update-mime-database /usr/share/mime &> /dev/null || : ...So, this is fixed in the rawhide package, and presumably will be fixed in any new release builds. Closing, with thanks!
