hi We have a data corruption issue in GLib that's causing some pain:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658188 For some background: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636311 The issue is that we have a somewhat complicated algorithm that attempts to promote the system default application for a given mimetype into the user's list of default applications. This code springs into play in seemingly innocent situations (such as when calling g_app_info_set_as_last_used_for_type() for a given type) and can do the wrong thing. The fix (in my opinion) is to completely remove that logic and replace it with an extra check for system-level defaults at the time that we go to do the query for the default app. I'd like to push this as a last-minute change before releasing GLib 2.30.0 this afternoon. I currently have a couple of distributions doing testing of the change, and I'm hoping for a sign-off by Cosimo (in addition to the one I already have from Alex). Since this is a semi-substantial change and it comes so late in the game, I really appreciate some extra eyeballs for review on this one, so I'm formally requesting a freeze break (on the condition that all of the other reviewers come back with only good news).
