How to release a new version

One-time setup: Create a ~/.m2/settings.xml that looks like this:

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>ossrh</id>
      <username>SONATYPE-JIRA-USERNAME</username>
      <password>SONATYPE-JIRA-PASSWORD</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>

Every time:

  1. mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=x.x.x
  2. mvn clean deploy -P release

How to support a new file type

The best way to support a new file type is to put it in shared-mime-info, the open-source repository of all MIME types.

  1. Submit a pull request to https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info, making it support the new file type.
  2. Wait for a new release of shared-mime-info.
  3. Change the URL and version numbers in this repo's rebuild-mime-cache.sh.
  4. Run rebuild-mime-cache.sh (on Linux -- requires some standard build tools).
  5. For bonus points, add a test file to this repository (src/test/resources/test/) and test that it is detected correctly (src/test/java/org/overviewproject/mime_types/MimeTypeDetectorTest.java).
  6. Submit a pull request.

Alternatively, you are welcome to request a volunteer to do this process, at https://github.com/overview/mime-types/issues.

If you want to support a non-standard MIME type (just for your own project, not for public consumption), please contribute to #5.
