[packagekit] Mime types checking

[Daniel Nicoletti]

BTW, how the gui will handle that? do we refuse the file
before, or we try to install and the backend give us an error?
I prefer the first, since the user don't need to enter root pass

The daemon now checks the content type of files being passed to the
InstallFiles() method. If your backend does not specify a list of
content types in backend_get_mime_types(), then the file will be
refused and the method will fail with MimeTypeNotSupported. A typical
list of mime-types looks like this:
"application/x-rpm;application/x-servicepack".
This stops users using pkcon, or double clicking on .deb files on a
.rpm system (and vice versa) only for the backend to show an error or
explode into a million bits.

If you want to see the mime-type, as detected by gio (and thus
packagekitd), then do:

gvfs-info /path/to/file.foo -a "standard::content-type"

Please can you ensure that your backend has the correct content types
listed. Thanks.

Richard.
