fdo-mime.eclass: Mark the eclass as deprecated The GNOME team has committed the xdg-utils.eclass serving exactly the same purpose as fdo-mime.eclass, supposedly with the goal of replacing it. However, it seems that they have never bothered to actually hint the deprecation in the fdo-mime.eclass in any way. As a result, developers are still adding references to this eclass instead of using xdg-utils or xdg, and/or not working towards replacing them. Add an explicit deprecation notice to the fdo-mime.eclass to make it clear that the eclass should not be used in new packages, and what the replacement eclasses are. eclass/fdo-mime.eclass | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/eclass/fdo-mime.eclass b/eclass/fdo-mime.eclass index b3b096d154e..8e51d8a69df 100644 --- a/eclass/fdo-mime.eclass +++ b/eclass/fdo-mime.eclass @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -# Copyright 1999-2011 Gentoo Foundation +# Copyright 1999-2017 Gentoo Foundation # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 # @ECLASS: fdo-mime.eclass @@ -7,6 +7,8 @@ # @AUTHOR: # Original author: foser <fo...@gentoo.org> # @BLURB: Utility eclass to update the desktop mime info as laid out in the freedesktop specs & implementations +# @DESCRIPTION: +# This eclass is DEPRECATED.
