  24       <div class="date"> 7th September 2023</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Medlemmene av Norges regjering har demonstert de siste månedene at
  26 habilitetsvureringer ikke er deres sterke side og det gjelder både
  27 Arbeiderpartiets og Senterpartiers representater. Det er heldigvis
  28 enklere i det private, da inhabilitetsreglene kun gjelder de som
  29 jobber for folket, ikke seg selv.  Sist ut er utenriksminister
  30 Huitfeldt.  I går kom nyheten om at
  31 <a href="https://www.nrk.no/nyheter/riksadvokaten_-okokrim-nestsjef-kan-behandle-huitfeldt-saken-1.16545162">Riksadvokaten
  32 har konkludert med at nestsjefen i Økokrim kan behandle sak om
  33 habilitet og innsidekunnskap</a> for Huitfeldt, på tross av at hans
  34 overordnede, sjefen for Økokrim, har meldt seg inhabil i saken.  Dette
  35 er litt rart.  I veilednigen
  36 «<a href="https://www.regjeringen.no/globalassets/upload/krd/vedlegg/komm/veiledere/habilitet_i_kommuner_og_fylkeskommuner.pdf">Habilitet
  37 i kommuner og fylkeskommuner</a>» av Kommunal- og regionaldepartementet
  38 forteller de hva som gjelder, riktig nok gjelder veiledningen ikke for
  39 Økokrim som jo ikke er kommune eller fylkeskommune, men jeg får ikke
  40 inntrykk av at dette er regler som kun gjelder for kommune og
  41 fylkeskommune:
  42
  43 <blockquote>
  44 <p>«<strong>2.1 Oversikt over inhabilitetsgrunnlagene</strong>
  45
  46 <p>De alminnelige reglene om inhabilitet for den offentlige
  47 forvaltningen er gitt i
  48 <a href="https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/1967-02-10/KAPITTEL_2#KAPITTEL_2">forvaltningsloven
  49 §§ 6 til 10</a>. Forvaltningslovens hovedregel om inhabilitet framgår
  50 av § 6. Her er det gitt tre ulike grunnlag som kan føre til at en
  51 tjenestemann eller folkevalgt blir inhabil. I § 6 første ledd
  52 bokstavene a til e er det oppstilt konkrete tilknytningsforhold mellom
  53 tjenestemannen og saken eller sakens parter som automatisk fører til
  54 inhabilitet. Annet ledd oppstiller en skjønnsmessig regel om at
  55 tjenestemannen også kan bli inhabil etter en konkret vurdering av
  56 inhabilitetsspørsmålet, der en lang rekke momenter kan være
  57 relevante. I tredje ledd er det regler om såkalt avledet
  58 inhabilitet. Det vil si at en underordnet tjenestemann blir inhabil
  59 fordi en overordnet er inhabil.»</p>
  60 </blockquote>
  61
  62 <p>Loven sier ganske enkelt «Er den overordnede tjenestemann ugild,
  63 kan avgjørelse i saken heller ikke treffes av en direkte underordnet
  64 tjenestemann i samme forvaltningsorgan.»  Jeg antar tanken er at en
  65 underordnet vil stå i fare for å tilpasse sine konklusjoner til det
  66 overordnet vil ha fordel av, for å fortsatt ha et godt forhold til sin
  67 overordnede.  Men jeg er ikke jurist og forstår nok ikke kompliserte
  68 juridiske vurderinger.  For å sitere «Kamerat Napoleon» av George
  69 Orwell: «Alle dyr er like, men noen dyr er likere enn andre».

  83       <div class="date">10th August 2023</div>
  84       <div class="body"><p>I still enjoy <a href="https://kodi.tv/">Kodi</a> and
  85 <a href="https://libreelec.tv/">LibreELEC</a> as my multimedia center
  86 at home.  Sadly two of the services I really would like to use from
  87 within Kodi are not easily available.  The most wanted add-on would be
  88 one making <a href="https://archive.org/">The Internet Archive</a>
  89 available, and it has
  90 <a href="https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Internet_Archive">not been
  91 working</a> for many years.  The second most wanted add-on is one
  92 using <a href="https://invidious.io/">the Invidious privacy enhanced
  93 Youtube frontent</a>.  A plugin for this has been partly working, but
  94 not been kept up to date in the Kodi add-on repository, and its
  95 upstream seem to have given it up in April this year, when the git
  96 repository was closed.  A few days ago I got tired of this sad state
  97 of affairs and decided to
  98 <a href="https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/kodi-invidious-plugin">have
  99 a go at improving the Invidious add-on</a>.  As
 100 <a href="https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/issues/3872">Google has
 101 already attacked</a> the Invidious concept, so it need all the support
 102 if can get.  My small contribution here is to improve the service
 103 status on Kodi.</p>
 104
 105 <p>I added support to the Invidious add-on for automatically picking a
 106 working Invidious instance, instead of requiring the user to specify
 107 the URL to a specific instance after installation.  I also had a look
 108 at the set of patches floating around in the various forks on github,
 109 and decided to clean up at least some of the features I liked and
 110 integrate them into my new release branch.  Now the plugin can handle
 111 channel and short video items in search results.  Earlier it could
 112 only handle single video instances in the search response.  I also
 113 brushed up the set of metadata displayed a bit, but hope I can figure
 114 out how to get more relevant metadata displayed.</p>
 115
 116 <p>Because I only use Kodi 20 myself, I only test on version 20 and am
 117 only motivated to ensure version 20 is working.  Because of API changes
 118 between version 19 and 20, I suspect it will fail with earlier Kodi
 119 versions.</p>
 120
 121 <p>I already
 122 <a href="https://github.com/xbmc/repo-plugins/pull/4363">asked to have
 123 the add-on added</a> to the official Kodi 20 repository, and is
 124 waiting to heard back from the repo maintainers.</p>

 142       <div class="date">11th June 2023</div>
 143       <div class="body"><p>With yesterdays
 144 <a href="https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20230610">release of Debian
 145 12 Bookworm</a>, I am happy to know the
 146 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch">the interactive
 147 application firewall OpenSnitch</a> is available for a wider audience.
 148 I have been running it for a few weeks now, and have been surprised
 149 about some of the programs connecting to the Internet.  Some programs
 150 are obviously calling out from my machine, like the NTP network based
 151 clock adjusting system and Tor to reach other Tor clients, but others
 152 were more dubious.  For example, the KDE Window manager try to look up
 153 the host name in DNS, for no apparent reason, but if this lookup is
 154 blocked the KDE desktop get periodically stuck when I use it.  Another
 155 surprise was how much Firefox call home directly to mozilla.com,
 156 mozilla.net and googleapis.com, to mention a few, when I visit other
 157 web pages.  This direct connection happen even if I told Firefox to
 158 always use a proxy, and the proxy setting is ignored for this traffic.
 159 Other surprising connections come from audacity and dirmngr (I do not
 160 use Gnome).  It took some trial and error to get a good default set of
 161 permissions.  Without it, I would get popups asking for permissions at
 162 any time, also the most inconvenient ones where I am in the middle of
 163 a time sensitive gaming session.</p>
 164
 165 <p>I suspect some application developers should rethink when then need
 166 to use network connections or DNS lookups, and recommend testing
 167 OpenSnitch (only <tt>apt install opensnitch</tt> away in Debian
 168 Bookworm) to locate and report any surprising Internet connections on
 169 your desktop machine.</p>
 170
 171 <p>At the moment the upstream developer and Debian package maintainer
 172 is working on making the system more reliable in Debian, by enabling
 173 the eBPF kernel module to track processes and connections instead of
 174 depending in content in /proc/.  This should enter unstable fairly
 175 soon.</p>

 181 <p><strong>Update 2023-06-12</strong>: I got a tip about

 200       <div class="date">19th May 2023</div>
 201       <div class="body"><p>There is a European standard for reading utility meters like water,
 202 gas, electricity or heat distribution meters.  The
 203 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meter-Bus">Meter-Bus standard
 204 (EN 13757-2, EN 13757-3 and EN 13757–4)</a> provide a cross vendor way
 205 to talk to and collect meter data.  I ran into this standard when I
 206 wanted to monitor some heat distribution meters, and managed to find
 207 free software that could do the job.  The meters in question broadcast
 208 encrypted messages with meter information via radio, and the hardest
 209 part was to track down the encryption keys from the vendor.  With this
 210 in place I could set up a MQTT gateway to submit the meter data for
 211 graphing.</p>
 212
 213 <p>The free software systems in question,
 214 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/rtl-wmbus">rtl-wmbus</a> to
 215 read the messages from a software defined radio, and
 216 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/wmbusmeters">wmbusmeters</a> to
 217 decrypt and decode the content of the messages, is working very well
 218 and allowe me to get frequent updates from my meters.  I got in touch
 219 with upstream last year to see if there was any interest in publishing
 220 the packages via Debian.  I was very happy to learn that Fredrik
 221 Öhrström volunteered to maintain the packages, and I have since
 222 assisted him in getting Debian package build rules in place as well as
 223 sponsoring the packages into the Debian archive.  Sadly we completed
 224 it too late for them to become part of the next stable Debian release
 225 (Bookworm).  The wmbusmeters package just cleared the NEW queue.  It
 226 will need some work to fix a built problem, but I expect Fredrik will
 227 find a solution soon.</p>
 228
 229 <p>If you got a infrastructure meter supporting the Meter Bus
 230 standard, I strongly recommend having a look at these nice
 231 packages.</p>

 249       <div class="date">14th May 2023</div>
 250       <div class="body"><p>The LinuxCNC project is making headway these days.  A lot of
 251 patches and issues have seen activity on
 252 <a href="https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/">the project github
 253 pages</a> recently.  A few weeks ago there was a developer gathering
 254 over at the <a href="https://tormach.com/">Tormach</a> headquarter in
 255 Wisconsin, and now we are planning a new gathering in Norway.  If you
 256 wonder what LinuxCNC is, lets quote Wikipedia:</p>
 257
 258 <blockquote>
 259 "LinuxCNC is a software system for numerical control of
 260 machines such as milling machines, lathes, plasma cutters, routers,
 261 cutting machines, robots and hexapods. It can control up to 9 axes or
 262 joints of a CNC machine using G-code (RS-274NGC) as input. It has
 263 several GUIs suited to specific kinds of usage (touch screen,
 264 interactive development)."
 265 </blockquote>
 266
 267 <p>The Norwegian developer gathering take place the weekend June 16th
 268 to 18th this year, and is open for everyone interested in contributing
 269 to LinuxCNC.  Up to date information about the gathering can be found
 270 in
 271 <a href="https://sourceforge.net/p/emc/mailman/emc-developers/thread/sa64jp06nob.fsf%40hjemme.reinholdtsen.name/#msg37837251">the
 272 developer mailing list thread</a> where the gathering was announced.

 297       <div class="date">13th May 2023</div>
 298       <div class="body"><p>A bit delayed,
 299 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch">the interactive
 300 application firewall OpenSnitch</a> package in Debian now got the
 301 latest fixes ready for Debian Bookworm.  Because it depend on a
 302 package missing on some architectures, the autopkgtest check of the
 303 testing migration script did not understand that the tests were
 304 actually working, so the migration was delayed.  A bug in the package
 305 dependencies is also fixed, so those installing the firewall package
 306 (opensnitch) now also get the GUI admin tool (python3-opensnitch-ui)
 307 installed by default.  I am very grateful to Gustavo Iñiguez Goya for
 308 his work on getting the package ready for Debian Bookworm.</p>
 309
 310 <p>Armed with this package I have discovered some surprising
 311 connections from programs I believed were able to work completly
 312 offline, and it has already proven its worth, at least to me.  If you
 313 too want to get more familiar with the kind of programs using
 314 Internett connections on your machine, I recommend testing <tt>apt
 315 install opensnitch</tt> in Bookworm and see what you think.</p>
 316
 317 <p>The package is still not able to build its eBPF module within
 318 Debian.  Not sure how much work it would be to get it working, but
 319 suspect some kernel related packages need to be extended with more
 320 header files to get it working.</p>

 338       <div class="date">23rd April 2023</div>
 339       <div class="body"><p>While visiting a convention during Easter, it occurred to me that
 340 it would be great if I could have a digital Dictaphone with
 341 transcribing capabilities, providing me with texts to cut-n-paste into
 342 stuff I need to write.  The background is that long drives often bring
 343 up the urge to write on texts I am working on, which of course is out
 344 of the question while driving.  With the release of
 345 <a href="https://github.com/openai/whisper/">OpenAI Whisper</a>, this
 346 seem to be within reach with Free Software, so I decided to give it a
 347 go.  OpenAI Whisper is a Linux based neural network system to read in
 348 audio files and provide text representation of the speech in that
 349 audio recording.  It handle multiple languages and according to its
 350 creators even can translate into a different language than the spoken
 351 one.  I have not tested the latter feature.  It can either use the CPU
 352 or a GPU with CUDA support.  As far as I can tell, CUDA in practice
 353 limit that feature to NVidia graphics cards.  I have few of those, as
 354 they do not work great with free software drivers, and have not tested
 355 the GPU option.  While looking into the matter, I did discover some
 356 work to provide CUDA support on non-NVidia GPUs, and some work with
 357 the library used by Whisper to port it to other GPUs, but have not
 358 spent much time looking into GPU support yet.  I've so far used an old
 359 X220 laptop as my test machine, and only transcribed using its
 360 CPU.</p>
 361
 362 <p>As it from a privacy standpoint is unthinkable to use computers
 363 under control of someone else (aka a "cloud" service) to transcribe
 364 ones thoughts and personal notes, I want to run the transcribing
 365 system locally on my own computers.  The only sensible approach to me
 366 is to make the effort I put into this available for any Linux user and
 367 to upload the needed packages into Debian.  Looking at Debian Bookworm, I
 368 discovered that only three packages were missing,
 369 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/1034307">tiktoken</a>,
 370 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/1034144">triton</a>, and
 371 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/1034091">openai-whisper</a>.  For a while
 372 I also believed
 373 <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/1034286">ffmpeg-python</a> was
 374 needed, but as its
 375 <a href="https://github.com/kkroening/ffmpeg-python/issues/760">upstream
 376 seem to have vanished</a> I found it safer
 377 <a href="https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/1242">to rewrite
 378 whisper</a> to stop depending on in than to introduce ffmpeg-python
 379 into Debian.  I decided to place these packages under the umbrella of
 380 <a href="https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team">the Debian Deep
 381 Learning Team</a>, which seem like the best team to look after such
 382 packages.  Discussing the topic within the group also made me aware
 383 that the triton package was already a future dependency of newer
 384 versions of the torch package being planned, and would be needed after
 385 Bookworm is released.</p>
 386
 387 <p>All required code packages have been now waiting in
 388 <a href="https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html">the Debian NEW
 389 queue</a> since Wednesday, heading for Debian Experimental until
 390 Bookworm is released.  An unsolved issue is how to handle the neural
 391 network models used by Whisper.  The default behaviour of Whisper is
 392 to require Internet connectivity and download the model requested to
 393 <tt>~/.cache/whisper/</tt> on first invocation.  This obviously would
 394 fail <a href="https://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq.html">the
 395 deserted island test of free software</a> as the Debian packages would
 396 be unusable for someone stranded with only the Debian archive and solar
 397 powered computer on a deserted island.</p>
 398
 399 <p>Because of this, I would love to include the models in the Debian
 400 mirror system.  This is problematic, as the models are very large
 401 files, which would put a heavy strain on the Debian mirror
 402 infrastructure around the globe.  The strain would be even higher if
 403 the models change often, which luckily as far as I can tell they do
 404 not.  The small model, which according to its creator is most useful
 405 for English and in my experience is not doing a great job there
 406 either, is 462 MiB (deb is 414 MiB).  The medium model, which to me
 407 seem to handle English speech fairly well is 1.5 GiB (deb is 1.3 GiB)
 408 and the large model is 2.9 GiB (deb is 2.6 GiB).  I would assume
 409 everyone with enough resources would prefer to use the large model for
 410 highest quality.  I believe the models themselves would have to go
 411 into the non-free part of the Debian archive, as they are not really
 412 including any useful source code for updating the models.  The
 413 "source", aka the model training set, according to the creators
 414 consist of "680,000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised
 415 data collected from the web", which to me reads material with both
 416 unknown copyright terms, unavailable to the general public.  In other
 417 words, the source is not available according to the Debian Free
 418 Software Guidelines and the model should be considered non-free.</p>
 419
 420 <p>I asked the Debian FTP masters for advice regarding uploading a
 421 model package on their IRC channel, and based on the feedback there it
 422 is still unclear to me if such package would be accepted into the
 423 archive.  In any case I wrote build rules for a
 424 <a href="https://salsa.debian.org/deeplearning-team/openai-whisper-model">OpenAI
 425 Whisper model package</a> and
 426 <a href="https://github.com/openai/whisper/pull/1257">modified the
 427 Whisper code base</a> to prefer shared files under <tt>/usr/</tt> and
 428 <tt>/var/</tt> over user specific files in <tt>~/.cache/whisper/</tt>
 429 to be able to use these model packages, to prepare for such
 430 possibility.  One solution might be to include only one of the models
 431 (small or medium, I guess) in the Debian archive, and ask people to
 432 download the others from the Internet.  Not quite sure what to do
 433 here, and advice is most welcome (use the debian-ai mailing list).</p>
 434
 435 <p>To make it easier to test the new packages while I wait for them to
 436 clear the NEW queue, I created an APT source targeting bookworm.  I
 437 selected Bookworm instead of Bullseye, even though I know the latter
 438 would reach more users, is that some of the required dependencies are
 439 missing from Bullseye and I during this phase of testing did not want
 440 to backport a lot of packages just to get up and running.</p>
 441
 442 <p>Here is a recipe to run as user root if you want to test OpenAI
 443 Whisper using Debian packages on your Debian Bookworm installation,
 444 first adding the APT repository GPG key to the list of trusted keys,
 445 then setting up the APT repository and finally installing the packages
 446 and one of the models:</p>
 447
 448 <p><pre>
 449 curl https://geekbay.nuug.no/~pere/openai-whisper/D78F5C4796F353D211B119E28200D9B589641240.asc \
 450   -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/pere-whisper.asc
 451 mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d
 452 cat > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pere-whisper.list &lt;&lt;EOF
 453 deb https://geekbay.nuug.no/~pere/openai-whisper/ bookworm main
 454 deb-src https://geekbay.nuug.no/~pere/openai-whisper/ bookworm main
 455 EOF
 456 apt update
 457 apt install openai-whisper
 458 </pre></p>
 459
 460 <p>The package work for me, but have not yet been tested on any other
 461 computer than my own.  With it, I have been able to (badly) transcribe
 462 a 2 minute 40 second Norwegian audio clip to test using the small
 463 model.  This took 11 minutes and around 2.2 GiB of RAM.  Transcribing
 464 the same file with the medium model gave a accurate text in 77 minutes
 465 using around 5.2 GiB of RAM.  My test machine had too little memory to
 466 test the large model, which I believe require 11 GiB of RAM.  In
 467 short, this now work for me using Debian packages, and I hope it will
 468 for you and everyone else once the packages enter Debian.</p>
 469
 470 <p>Now I can start on the audio recording part of this project.</p>

 488       <div class="date"> 7th April 2023</div>
 489       <div class="body"><p>Today I finally found time to track down a useful radio frequency
 490 scanner for my software defined radio.  Just for fun I tried to locate
 491 the radios used in the areas, and a good start would be to scan all
 492 the frequencies to see what is in use.  I've tried to find a useful
 493 program earlier, but ran out of time before I managed to find a useful
 494 tool.  This time I was more successful, and after a few false leads I
 495 found a description of
 496 <a href="https://www.kali.org/tools/rtlsdr-scanner/">rtlsdr-scanner
 497 over at the Kali site</a>, and was able to track down
 498 <a href="https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/rtlsdr-scanner.git">the
 499 Kali package git repository</a> to build a deb package for the
 500 scanner.  Sadly the package is missing from the Debian project itself,
 501 at least in Debian Bullseye.  Two runtime dependencies,
 502 <a href="https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/python-visvis.git">python-visvis</a>
 503 and
 504 <a href="https://gitlab.com/kalilinux/packages/python-rtlsdr.git">python-rtlsdr</a>
 505 had to be built and installed separately.  Luckily '<tt>gbp
 506 buildpackage</tt>' handled them just fine and no further packages had
 507 to be manually built.  The end result worked out of the box after
 508 installation.</p>
 509
 510 <p>My initial scans for FM channels worked just fine, so I knew the
 511 scanner was functioning.  But when I tried to scan every frequency
 512 from 100 to 1000 MHz, the program stopped unexpectedly near the
 513 completion.  After some debugging I discovered USB software radio I
 514 used rejected frequencies above 948 MHz, triggering a unreported
 515 exception breaking the scan.  Changing the scan to end at 957 worked
 516 better.  I similarly found the lower limit to be around 15, and ended
 517 up with the following full scan:</p>
 518
 519 <p><a href="https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2023-04-07-radio-freq-scanning.png"><img src="https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/images/2023-04-07-radio-freq-scanning.png" width="100%"></a></p>
 520
 521 <p>Saving the scan did not work, but exporting it as a CSV file worked
 522 just fine.  I ended up with around 477k CVS lines with dB level for
 523 the given frequency.</p>
 524
 525 <p>The save failure seem to be a missing UTF-8 encoding issue in the
 526 python code.  Will see if I can find time to send a patch
 527 <a href="https://github.com/CdeMills/RTLSDR-Scanner/">upstream</a>
 528 later to fix this exception:</p>

 561       <div class="date">25th February 2023</div>
 562       <div class="body"><p>Thanks to the efforts of the OpenSnitch lead developer Gustavo
 563 Iñiguez Goya allowing me to sponsor the upload,
 564 <a href="https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/opensnitch">the interactive
 565 application firewall OpenSnitch</a> is now available in Debian
 566 Testing, soon to become the next stable release of Debian.</p>
 567
 568 <p>This is a package which set up a network firewall on one or more
 569 machines, which is controlled by a graphical user interface that will
 570 ask the user if a program should be allowed to connect to the local
 571 network or the Internet.  If some background daemon is trying to dial
 572 home, it can be blocked from doing so with a simple mouse click, or by
 573 default simply by not doing anything when the GUI question dialog pop
 574 up.  A list of all programs discovered using the network is provided
 575 in the GUI, giving the user an overview of how the machine(s) programs
 576 use the network.</p>
 577
 578 <p>OpenSnitch was uploaded for NEW processing about a month ago, and I
 579 had little hope of it getting accepted and shaping up in time for the
 580 package freeze, but the Debian ftpmasters proved to be amazingly quick
 581 at checking out the package and it was accepted into the archive about
 582 week after the first upload.  It is now team maintained under the Go
 583 language team umbrella.  A few fixes to the default setup is only in
 584 Sid, and should migrate to Testing/Bookworm in a week.</p>
 585
 586 <p>During testing I ran into an
 587 <a href="https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/813">issue
 588 with Minecraft server broadcasts disappearing</a>, which was quickly
 589 resolved by the developer with a patch and a proposed configuration
 590 change.  I've been told this was caused by the Debian packages default
 591 use if /proc/ information to track down kernel status, instead of the
 592 newer eBPF module that can be used.  The reason is simply that
 593 upstream and I have failed to find a way to build the eBPF modules for
 594 OpenSnitch without a complete configured Linux kernel source tree,
 595 which as far as we can tell is unavailable as a build dependency in
 596 Debian.  We tried unsuccessfully so far to use the kernel-headers
 597 package.  It would be great if someone could provide some clues how to
 598 build eBPF modules on build daemons in Debian, possibly without the full
 599 kernel source.</p>

 618       <div class="body"><p>Linux desktop systems
 619 <a href="https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html">have
 620 standardized</a> how programs present themselves to the desktop
 621 system.  If a package include a .desktop file in
 622 /usr/share/applications/, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, Xfce and the other desktop
 623 environments will pick up the file and use its content to generate the
 624 menu of available programs in the system.  A lesser known fact is that
 625 a package can also explain to the desktop system how to recognize the
 626 files created by the program in question, and use it to open these
 627 files on request, for example via a GUI file browser.</p>
 628
 629 <p>A while back I ran into a package that did not tell the desktop
 630 system how to recognize its files and was not used to open its files
 631 in the file browser and fixed it.  In the process I wrote a simple
 632 debian/tests/ script to ensure the setup keep working.  It might be
 633 useful for other packages too, to ensure any future version of the
 634 package keep handling its own files.</p>
 635
 636 <p>For this to work the file format need a useful MIME type that can
 637 be used to identify the format.  If the file format do not yet have a
 638 MIME type, it should define one and preferably also
 639 <a href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml">register
 640 it with IANA</a> to ensure the MIME type string is reserved.</p>
 641
 642 <p>The script uses the <tt>xdg-mime</tt> program from xdg-utils to
 643 query the database of standardized package information and ensure it
 644 return sensible values.  It also need the location of an example file
 645 for xdg-mime to guess the format of.</p>
