FYI,
a colleague of mine just did these changes: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I think one of our oldest scripts in our SuSE Linux/SUSE Linux/openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise history is now finally gone: /sbin/SuSEconfig
R.I.P.
https://fate.suse.com/100011 https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/135139 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think we have fixed all the packages that used SuSEconfig and will blacklist it now in rpmlint,
It will certainly break SuSEconfig.glib2. Also why was this change even made, AFAICS this has not been discussed with the stakeholders and the rationale and discussion in FATE is non-public.
There is no discussion and the rationale is on features.opensuse.org visible for everyone - SuSEconfig is not called by rpm or zypper and never was. So if removing SuSEconfig breaks Suseconfig.glib2, it already is broken for every zypper dup / factory user.
It refreshes the mime associations using desktop-specific priorities so it is only interesting for desktop users who likely install packages using YaST which does run SuSEconfig. And I spent quite a bit of work rewriting this thing and getting support for this into glib just a few months ago. This script needs to run each time a .desktop file providing MimeType is installed by a package, how do you suggest to replace this functionality? -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
