Implements --disable-update-mime-database (1.76 KB, patch)

Description Daniel Macks 2006-01-17 23:49:41 UTC 
During 'make install' in plugins/nautilus, update-mime-database is run to adjust the local system's mimetypes files. However, I build to a temp location on a dedicated build machine, so I don't want that to happen (I comment-out the lines of the Makefile*). A useful solution would be for ./configure to take a --disable-update-databases flag. See the 'bluefish' gnome package for an example of its implementation.
Comment 1 Stef Walter 2006-01-18 16:04:11 UTC 
Interesting. Once again do you have any patches that enable this behaviour?

Comment 3 Stef Walter 2006-01-19 04:01:27 UTC 
Thanks but....

Did you test this patch? It didn't apply cleanly to the seahorse-0-8 stable branch. It also didn't build for me (using automake 1.9) due to a uninstall-data-local/uninstall-local mixup. 

In any case it pointed me in the right direction and the --disable-update-mime-database option is now in the stable branch. Should be included in 0.8.1:

That was a diff against CVS HEAD, based on some apparently crappy cut'n'paste from another modified set of files where I was testing it. Sorry for the mixup, but thanks for fixing it. seahorse-0.8 is now available via fink for OS X users.
