I am kind of annoyed by the time it takes to update the MIME database
Please, please, please. Bug reports and feature requests go to:
I'm not sure whether this should classify as a bug report.
How could this not qualify for a bug report?
Maybe this should also be discussed upstream as this is not a Arch specific issue as far as I understand. Maybe they do have reasons for calling fsync so heavily.
Back to the topic. Lately, I have been annoyed by that, too. Maybe it's some recent change (or I just didn't notice it before). I concur, syncing something like MIME database that can be easily rebuild in case an unlikely filesystem corruption occurs seems kinda stupid.
Again, file a bug upstream.
I have seen this bug filed upstream and rejected. It is a "feature"... For the same reason, I would frown on Arch patching it out. It is how upstream decided they want their software. Allan
