Description Mathias Hasselmann (IRC: tbf) 2005-09-01 11:50:32 UTC 
1) Create a file called "Makefile" containing the line "all:".
2) Verify the icon Nautilus displays - should be the icon for "text/x-makefile"
3) Rename the file into "GNUmakefile".

You'd expect the file to keep its icon, but in fact it changes to "text/plain".

Yes, I know: Some downstream library made the mistake. Hope you reasign the Bug
to the right guy.

Thanks for your bug report!
I've filed a bug report [1] against the freedesktop.org MIME database, which we
use to collect MIME information. For now, you can fix the issue by adding a
<glob pattern="GNUmakefile"/> tag below <mime-type type="text/x-makefile"> in
/usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml and afterwards run
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime as root.
