The GNOME team has committed the xdg-utils.eclass serving exactly |
| 2 |
the same purpose as fdo-mime.eclass, supposedly with the goal of |
| 3 |
replacing it. However, it seems that they have never bothered to |
| 4 |
actually hint the deprecation in the fdo-mime.eclass in any way. |
| 5 |
As a result, developers are still adding references to this eclass |
| 6 |
instead of using xdg-utils or xdg, and/or not working towards replacing |
| 7 |
them. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Add an explicit deprecation notice to the fdo-mime.eclass to make it |
| 10 |
clear that the eclass should not be used in new packages, and what |
| 11 |
the replacement eclasses are. |
