The only thing to deal with is shipping files with the same extension. Think outside of a local machine. Extensions aren't used if something is served over http. It uses the MIME type. That locally the extension would be used to determine the MIME type still means it uses the MIME type. Locally a MIME type change doesn't have much of an effect. But it does if your interact with others (http, etc). -- Regards, Olav

Agreed. But it's not that important now: this code portion was a prototype at the time, has not been used/tested for years (no Kiosk server serving application/x-mdv-exec since Dec. 2006), and this MIME type was created for this very use case. Should we think about some sort of Web-based app store, we'd need to redesign it from scratch and in a better, modular way (options are not the same today).

AFAIR, it used to be for long-dead Kiosk project, several years ago (Kiosk was declared a dead project by the end of 2006). .bundle files (downloaded through http) were containing special instructions to trigger specific urpmi behaviour (adding a media, installing RPMs from this media). It was not used since.

If the .bundle is unused then it too can be removed.

Yes, but cutting code out of mgaonline must be done carefully (I believe tv did some cleaning already). Are there functional/features tests along with the code? That could be a start to ensure no required feature is broken.
