There is a small problem. I cannot find any references for your proposal to use text/x-adaspec and similar MIME names. Only text/x-adasrc is referenced. Is there some agreement to use these names? Has it been discussed somewhere? Independent from this. Accordingly to the C/C++ MIME types, I guess: text/x-adaspec would be a sub-class of text/x-adasrc IMHO shared-mime-info shouldn't introduce new MIME types, except there is some kind of consensus with a broader community. However, this is just my personal opinion. Please follow the instructions at: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/tree/HACKING#n31 for mime-type additions. -- GitLab Migration Automatic Message -- This bug has been migrated to freedesktop.org's GitLab instance and has been closed from further activity.

I noticed that the shared-mime-info contained this entry for the Ada95 programming language: <mime-type type="text/x-adasrc"> <comment>Ada source code</comment> <comment xml:lang="de">Ada-Quelltext</comment> <comment xml:lang="el">Πηγαίος κώδικας Ada</comment> <comment xml:lang="fi">Ada-lähdekoodi</comment> <comment xml:lang="no">Ada-kildekode</comment> <glob pattern="*.adb"/> <glob pattern="*.ads"/> </mime-type> This is a bit ackward. It would be like saying: <mime-type type="text/x-csrc"> <comment>C source code</comment> <glob pattern="*.c"/> <glob pattern="*.h"/> </mime-type> as .ads are the spec files of Ada (to some extent like .h for C). To summarise the extensions used by GNAT: .ads Spec file (containing the declarations) .adb Body file (containing the code) .ali Ada Library info (which contains additional information used to check that an Ada program is consistent. This is made when you compile a program) .adt Ada Tree (A tree file stores a snapshot of the compiler internal data structures in the very end of a successful compilation. It contains all the syntactical and semantic information about the unit being compiled and all the units upon which it depends semantically. Some tools need tree files to obtain this information.) .ada Contains both Spec and Body (used by other compilers too) So it would be nice if the freedesktop mime file could be updated to the following for Ada: <mime-type type="text/x-adasrc"> <comment>Ada source code</comment> <comment xml:lang="de">Ada-Quelltext</comment> <comment xml:lang="el">Πηγαίος κώδικας Ada</comment> <comment xml:lang="fi">Ada-lähdekoodi</comment> <comment xml:lang="no">Ada-kildekode</comment> <glob pattern="*.adb"/> <glob pattern="*.ada"/> </mime-type> <mime-type type="text/x-adaspec"> <comment>Ada source code spec</comment> <comment xml:lang="no">Ada-kildekodespesifikasjon</comment> <glob pattern="*.ads"/> </mime-type> <mime-type type="text/x-adalibinfo"> <comment>Ada library information</comment> <comment xml:lang="no">Ada-bibliotektinformasjon</comment> <glob pattern="*.ali"/> </mime-type> <mime-type type="text/x-adatree"> <comment>Ada tree</comment> <comment xml:lang="no">Ada-tre</comment> <glob pattern="*.adt"/> </mime-type> Regards, Preben Randhol Reference: <URL: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.0/gnat_ugn_unw/File-Naming-Rules.html#File-Naming- Rules> <URL: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.0.0/gnat_ugn_unw/The-Ada-Library-Information-Files.h tml#The-Ada-Library-Information-Files> <URL: http://lgl.epfl.ch/teaching/programming01_02/doc/gnat_ug.html#SEC142>
