Package: media-types Version: 14.0.0 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer, I created the upstream project https://github.com/media-types/media-types to create a pure IANA based mime.types file that can be used as basis for the different distributions and consumers. The project just ships the media types and file extensions declared in the IANA database. You can see the generated data on https://media-types.github.io/ As user of this project you would only need to maintain the non-standard media types and additional file extensions. As hopefully more and more media types get officially registered this delta should shrink over time. I created two branches on https://salsa.debian.org/bdrung/media-types: 1. use-media-types to use media-types as upstream project. Special note for the "Add Debian customization" that adds the Debian delta for extra media types and additional file extensions. 2. reduce-delta-to-media-types contains commits on top of the master branch to reduce the diff between the current Debian package and the variant that uses media-types. Let me know what you think and in case you need adjustments in the upstream code. -- Benjamin Drung Debian & Ubuntu Developer
