Package: mime-support Version: 3.48-1 Severity: normal
mime-support apparently hasn't been synced with upstream (IANA) for several years now. The MIME type I've noticed as missing (application/vnd.olpc-sugar) has been registered at IANA since at least 2007-06-07 [1]. Having proper file extension <-> MIME type mappings by default would make things a lot easier for operators of HTTP servers that publish files of this type. The Fedora git repository mentioned in the original report seems to live at [2] now (web browsable via [3]). The mime.types file in that repository contains application/vnd.olpc-sugar [4], so it's at least more recent than the one shipped by the Debian mime-support package. I don't know how they sync with IANA, but asking Ville Skyttä <ville.sky...@iki.fi> (the author of the last commit, titled "Sync with IANA as of 2011-07-17") sounds like a good idea.
