Brad, Do you have a copy of the auto props settings you used to convert the repository? We should post it so that everyone uses it consistently. Ian. Martin G.

I sent it in reply to the auto-props thread yesterday. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=49F87797.7000607%40student.manchester.ac.uk&forum_name=vxl-maintainers Here it is again. It has lots of special cases to make sure every file got something during the automatic conversion. In practice we do not need these special cases in users' config files because the few special cases can be done by hand as each file is added. -Brad |

I sent it in reply to the auto-props thread yesterday. On second thought, the one I used for conversion will not help us. It is not complete because the conversion script computed mime types mostly from '/etc/mime.types'. Furthermore it computed eol-style from the mime type automatically. The file I sent only fixed up some cases missed by the automatic stuff. We'll have to build one incrementally, perhaps on the wiki.

I'd like to propose a small modification to Brad's list. The *.texi files should be treated like plain text for the purpose of running svn diff. The mime-type of 'application/x-texinfo' did not seem to accommodate that, so I changed the mime-type of texi files (at least in core/doc/book) to 'text/x-texinfo'. --Matt On Apr 30, 2009, at 8:34 AM, Brad King wrote: > Ian Scott wrote: >> Do you have a copy of the auto props settings you used to convert >> the repository?

Is there an official list of valid mime-types somewhere? What makes a mime-type valid? I just changed 'application' to 'text' because svn recognizes 'text/*' mime- types as text and 'text/plain' seemed inappropriately generic. I'm perfectly happy changing the mime-type of texi files to anything that allows 'svn diff' to work. Suggestions? Matt |

One purpose of the svn:mime-type property is to tell web viewers how to show the content of a file. There is nothing wrong with 'text/plain'. -Brad |

It seems really odd to me that are valid text types for just about every kind of source code file, but texi files are considered binary. If 'text/x-c++src' is not part of the web standards, then does it matter if I also create a 'text/x-texinfo' mime-type? I don't imagine web browsers would know what to do with it any more than they know what to do with 'text/x-c++src'. I suspect unmatched 'text/*' usually defaults to 'text/plain'. I'm fine with changing texinfo files to 'text/plain' if there is really no better, more descriptive choice, but I still don't understand what defines a valid mime-type. Matt |

So are xml files. I guess the 'application/' namespace means that specific applications can be associated with files of that type for reference by email clients and web browsers when a user clicks on a file. > I'm fine with changing texinfo files to 'text/plain' if there is really > no better, more descriptive choice, but I still don't understand what > defines a valid mime-type. I think they are officially registered with http://www.iana.org but I don't see too many types there. I don't know much other than that. There are some links at the top of the first table I sent. -Brad |
