From 765ffd6ee578b05daecd2f250a51b93bcf5887ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Lamb Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2017 08:03:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] update-desktop-database.c: Sort output within lines, not the just between them. Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that desktop-file-utils produces mimeinfo.cache files that are not reproducible. This is because it inherits the non-deterministic hash ordering of the mime_types_map data structure. Patch attached that sorts just prior to output.
