Created attachment 403366 [details] /usr/lib/mime/packages/emboss I wanted to resolve the problem of desktops, by default, now knowing how to open, for example, .ab1 files. I tried to implement what Ubuntu is doing for emboss... but I don't know where should we install the attached mime file they are installing at /usr/lib/mime/packages/emboss I will also attach my updated ebuild to install /usr/share/mime/packages/emboss.xml and .desktop files

Martin, what do you think about this?
I never fiddled with this. Isn't it better to update the /etc/mime.types file? Or do you say the update-mime-database reads those attached files installed by emboss and updates /etc/mime.types ? ;-) I think I cannot really help with your decision.
