Comment (by bonefish):
FWIW, the `mime_update.sh` script is gone with package management. It
simply wouldn't work, since most folders and files under /boot/system and
/boot/common are read-only. On the upside, both the Haiku build system and
haikuporter run `mimeset` before creating a package. So all packaged
folders do already have the attribute. Folders that don't come from
packages still don't, though.
A MIME sniffer rule doesn't exist for directories, since those operate on
data. Directories and symlinks are handled explicitly by the MIME sniffing
code. In BeOS the registrar crawled the file system to sniff files in the
background, so everything was properly identified eventually. In Haiku we
don't do that. Originally the plan was to introduce the same mechanism
eventually, but since the whole query support is misplaced in the file
systems and should rather be put into a separate server (like the index
server Clemens implemented), that might not happen after all.
