Lighttpd gets its MIME configuration from output of /usr/share/lighttpd/create-mime.assign.pl. This script only reads MIME types from /etc/mime.types. However, the mime-support package also keeps per-user MIME-types in ~/.mime.types. These are ignored in the Lighttpd configuration, even if kept in www-data home-dir. The only way to add new per-user MIME types that are also picked up by Lighttpd is through /etc/mime.types, which is not recommended.
Files in /etc are there to be changed. To avoid update conflicts, the mime-support package should be fixed to either allow additional config files in /etc (like /etc/mime.types.d) or to put the current data in /usr/share, and only have custom types in /etc/mime.types.
I propose that create-mime.assign.pl also reads .mime.types in the home-dir of lighttpd user (lighttpd.conf::server.username)
Reading from any user home dir is certainly not an option. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
