Self Introduction: Eugene Syromiatnikov

Hello.
My name is Eugene Syromiatnikov, I am a Software Engineer at Red Hat,
an IBM company. I maintain strace and microcode_ctl packages
in RHEL, among other things. Also, I am a strace developer and used
to contribute to the MoinMoin wiki project.
My main areas of interests are computer architecture, low-level
programming, and high-performance computing.

Future of shared-mime-info in Fedora
by Miro Hrončok
Hello Fedorans, Bastien,
I have noticed that the shared-mime-info package was orphaned couple days ago.
Bastien, AFAIK you were the primary point of contact in Fedora and I also see
you are the RHEL 8 default bugzilla assignee.
Considering the following commit:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/commit/6f4947b01
I've disregarded the idea the the package was orphaned by accident.
I also see that GNOME mime types have been moved away from the package (on
rawhide only):
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/shared-mime-info/c/da05922d10
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gnome-desktop3/c/9909d22b
I always considered shared-mime-info an important package, however I don't see
it in comps. Maybe it is no longer that important?
A repoquery reveals ~50 packages that require it including PackageKit, Thunar
(Xfce), some NetworkManager packages, kdelibs (KDE)...
A recursive repoquery yields ~ 6650 packages.
I've taken the orphaned package for now to avoid any disruption (and a totally
unreadable orphans report), but I don't really understand the Fedora package, it
has a manually created source without any comment explaining where is this from:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/shared-mime-info/blob/master/f/mimeapp...
Bastien, could you please give me a hint about this file? Thanks
---------
The package technically has 8 co-maintainers and a sig, but I don't put much
hopes into the crowd there considering they haven't touched the package in years.
Are there any interested Fedora packages that understand mime info better than I do
---------
PS There is an interesting file-ownership problem reported in Bugzilla
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1486468 - I plan to discuss this
later on the packaging mailing list as well.
