Package: shared-mime-info
Version: 2.4-5+b3
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
>From the shared-mime-info description,
This is the shared MIME-info database from the X Desktop Group. It is required
by any program complying to the Shared MIME-Info Database spec, which is also
included in this package.
.
At this time at least ROX, GNOME, KDE and Xfce use this database.
1. XDG (Cross Desktop Grou) is a former name of freedesktop a long time ago.
It's better to say the current official name "freedesktop.org" or FDO.
2. ROX desktop is not continued anymore. I believe it's not worth to mention in
2026.
