Description Stanislav Brabec 2006-04-26 02:05:25 UTC 
Problem:

C source code definition in shared-mime-info-0.17 contains vague magic. Other
C-like source codes fit these MIME types, and this fact causes MIME type
conflict between content MIME type and suffix MIME type and it causes security
warning in Nautilus.

Possible fixes:

- Remove this vague magic. (C source code without suffix will not be recognized)

- Define C-like MIME types as sub-class-of C source. (Any C-like source code
without proper suffix will be recognized as C source. Code with proper suffix
will be recognized exactly.)

Proposed patch uses the second way. It does:

Defines all C-like (header and source) MIME types as sub-class-of "C source
code" (with exception of C++ header, which is defined as sub-class of C header).

Moves *.h++ and *.hp from C header to C++ header.

Removes now obsolete duplicated magic definitions and keeps only unique ones.

Decreases priority of "/*" and "//" to prevent previous XPM high-priority
problem (just fixed) and future problems.
