Correct: Build must be deterministic (possible to replay), which excludes network access. > On the other hand, as far as I understood, I should not include those > files already downloaded and parsed by build.js and stored in lib/* > directory...

Would it perhaps be possible to put together a script that creates same data from the data shipped in mime-support package? Then that script could either be used once at build time, or better be used at install time (stored below /usr/lib and symlinked from there if needed) and at will whenever the admin wants to update the database to reflect changes in master files. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
