Sorry, kind of swamped atm.

--disable-update-desktop would be more consistent. Otherwise fine.

Comment 6 Jens Granseuer 2009-09-24 21:37:02 UTC 
Why the AC_PATH_PROG? You never seem to use that anywhere.
Comment 7 Daniel Macks 2009-09-24 21:43:22 UTC 
I think it's this part of the patch:
>+++ gnome-control-center-2.28.0/font-viewer/Makefile.am
>[...]
>-	update-desktop-database $(DESTDIR)$(desktopdir)
>+	$(UPDATE_DESKTOP_DATABASE) $(DESTDIR)$(desktopdir)

Now why the AC_PATH_PROG is done first before another test that might make the command ignored and irrelevant (i.e., if ./configure is explicitly told not to run it) is a separate question.
Comment 8 Bastien Nocera 2010-11-18 15:01:11 UTC 
$ grep -i mimetype `find -name "*.desktop*"`
$

And the font-viewer is gone from the 3.0 control-center.
Comment 9 Daniel Macks 2010-11-18 22:28:46 UTC 
Sorry for drifting slightly off-topic then, but (re Comment #8), did font-viewer get moved to a different module? Or is there somewhere a new-named comparable tool for the gnome desktop?
Comment 10 Bastien Nocera 2010-11-18 23:07:02 UTC 
It's in gnome-utils:
