Debian file associations

[schadfield]

I'm submitting a…

• [ X] bug report

Short description of the issue/suggestion:

When I install the deb file created by JavaPackager my custom file association for *.kif files is not being created.

Steps to reproduce the issue/enhancement:

1. Create a deb file by building the project (https://github.com/schadfield/shogi-explorer).
2. Install the deb file with dpkg: dpkg -i shogi-explorer/target/packages/linux/ShogiExplorer_.deb

What is the expected behavior?

Files with extension "kif" are associated with mime type "application/x-shogi-explorer".

What is the current behavior?

The files remain associated with "text/plain".

The deb file includes "ShogiExplorer.xml" but this is not installed anywhere on the system.

Please tell us about your environment:

• JavaPackager version: 1.6.7
• OS version: Debian 11
• JDK version: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.4+8-Debian-1deb11u1, mixed mode, sharing)
• Build tool:
  • [ X] Maven

Hi @schadfield!
I've just have a look into it and, as you said, it seems that ShogiExplorer.xml file (which associates mime type with file extension) is not being distributed:

I'll try to fix this asap.
Thanks!

Currently working on this issue. Find changes in issue-274 branch.

[fvarrui]

It seems to be working fine now with DEB packages:

Testing with RPM packages!

[fvarrui]

You can test this version of JavaPackager following next steps:

git clone https://github.com/fvarrui/JavaPackager --branch issue-274
cd JavaPackager
./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Last step will install JavaPackager 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT in your local repo.

Build with Java 11 (not higher), due to Gradle incompatibility (should fix this one day 😅 )

Finally, change JavaPackager version in your pom.xml to 1.7.0-SNAPSHOT and:

mvn clean package

You can use whatever Java version you want to build your app (AFAIK ShogiExplorer needs 17?) ... just Java 11 to build the plugin

[fvarrui]

RPM packages also seems to be working fine

[fvarrui]

Branch issue-274 merged into devel, ready to be released

[schadfield]

Thanks. I am afraid I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

[fvarrui]

Hi @schadfield!
Don't worry, you can test it from devel branch

[schadfield]

I have tested the devel branch version on Debian 11 and it works correctly. Thank you very much.

[fvarrui]

Great! Thanks

[fvarrui]

I tested RPM on Fedora 37 and it works fine too
