Date:   Mon Sep 22 14:22:17 2025 +0100

    d/copyright: Add copyright information for d/gnome-mimeapps/
    
    This is not a full conversion to machine-readable copyright format,
    but it's a small step in that direction.

Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Sep 22 14:17:21 2025 +0100

    d/mimeapps: Prefer Decibels even though we don't have it in Debian yet
    
    We know what MIME types it's going to support, so we can set it as
    preferred for those MIME types and it will be used if it happens to be
    installed.

Date:   Mon Sep 22 14:12:08 2025 +0100

    d/mimeapps: Don't suggest Libreoffice Writer for text/plain
    
    It can technically open plain text files, but is not really a text editor.

    d/mimeapps: Prefer gnome-software-local-file-packagekit.desktop for .deb
    
    This matches our old configuration before GNOME 49.

Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Sep 22 14:04:13 2025 +0100

    d/mimeapps: Prefer Firefox Snap app vs. .deb if installed
    
    This matches our old configuration before GNOME 49. I've assumed that
    it handles the same MIME types as firefox.desktop.

Date:   Mon Sep 22 13:44:46 2025 +0100

    d/mimeapps/debian.conf: Prioritize image viewers higher than Firefox
    
    If Loupe isn't installed for whatever reason, we'd prefer JPEGs to
    open in eog rather than Firefox.

commit 3d74f166ac1260becac4cd53c545d47e859c3cd8
Author: Simon McVittie <smcv@debian.org>
Date:   Mon Sep 22 12:47:34 2025 +0100

    d/mimeapps/: Add machinery to generate a customized gnome-mimeapps.list
    
    This combines cached MIME type information from debian/mimeapps/*.desktop
    with Debian configuration from debian/mimeapps/debian.conf to generate
    a gnome-mimeapps.list that fits Debian preferences better than upstream's.
    
    Closes: #1115732

commit 7bcb3a465658bf9ea8e16b48365b2b46d3d9b468

Date:   Mon Sep 22 12:45:50 2025 +0100

    d/mimeapps: List MIME types supported by preinstalled and extra GNOME apps
    
    This will allow us to generate our own customized gnome-mimeapps.list
    without actually needing all of these apps to be installed.
